Cause that's what we want to know (and love so much about these movies) is that at the end of the day, to we'll all come together as a community, protect our families, and will survive whatever comes our way. So we can all breathe a huge sigh of relief. So gather up your friends or your roomies and cozy up with a hot drink, some spooky snacks, and get ready to be on the edge of your seat! But don't worry, these nail-biters typically end up with the characters a little worse for wear, but the earth safe and sound.

Whether it's an asteroid hurtling towards earth, a world-wide zombie making pandemic, space invaders, a nuclear war, or something that's the result of climate change, we can't help but be fascinated by the end of all things. Directed by Stephen Soderbergh, the movie focuses on a global pandemic and the struggles to contain the virus while social order breaks down worldwide. If it feels like the winter storms won't end, natural disasters seem to be getting stronger than ever, or that you might not be able to take another month of having to stay inside and mask up from a pandemic, cozy up with an apocalyptic or post-apocalyptic movie marathon and you'll be reminded how good you have it. For people looking for contagion movies similar to World War Z, where it is all about discovering the cause and a possible cure, look at the movie Contagion from 2011.
