Undead (2003)

A meteor carrying a virus strikes a small town turning nearby residents into zombies. On her way to an appearance in town, a beauty queen and her driver stop to investigate the bodies and cars in the road. After her driver is killed, our protagonist escapes to a nearby farmhouse which is home to a survivalist. As the group of zombies increases outside, a few other survivors manage to make their way inside.

Shortly afterwards the zombies get in and the group flee to a subterranean bomb shelter prepared to hold only the survivalist. When the pregnant lady goes into labor, they decide to drive to the hospital in town. This is where the film takes a strange twist and veers off from your typical zombie plot.

The movie was made in Australia and the filmmakers are obviously fans of the zombie genre. Watch for the scene with the plane near the end, which is truly unexpected.
