In the movie Army of the Dead the zombies have the ability to think and plan, in other words the zombies are intelligent. I would like to know which was the first movie or TV series to show intelligent zombies?

1First question that comes to mind is when do we define that a zombie is intelligent. Like, in some depictions, they can't even open a door. In some others, they can climb a ladder (which to me is quite a feat). Do you mean, when they're more than just ferals that act like beasts?– ClockworkCommented May 25, 2021 at 17:19

I'm going to suggest the 1985 Return of the Living Dead where the zombies, while generally shambling reanimated corpses, retain enough smarts to set ambushes and to request to "send more paramedics" after they eat the first batch.
