Ben might have survived that long deathly night, but he couldn&#8217;t survive the Sheriff, being shot to death by a living human in a scene uncomfortably reminiscent of recent police killings of Black men. Anxiety over race and the call for civil rights in America was undeniably at it&#8217;s highest during the late &#8217;60s, and as Dr. Martin Luther King&#8217;s assassination occured in the same year as this film was releaed, fans believe this movie symbolized what was happening (and still happens) to people of color.<br \/>\n<!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><br \/>\n <!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #3! --><br \/>\nThe ending to this film clearly shows that humans really can be worse than monsters sometimes, a theme Romero returned to again and again in his work (especially <em>Day of the Dead<\/em>).

These films were not only providing us with traditional horror scares, but were also tackling themes of racism, political anxieties, and ideas of conformity, perhaps as a response to 9\/11 and collective social fears. Cinema screens were greeted with <em><strong>28 Days Later <\/strong>(2002)<\/em>, which gave its audience a feel for a terrifying, post-apocalyptic world. With its frighteningly fast, extremely contagious creatures, the film reactivated a love for zombie movies, indicating that there was much more to come. Following <em>28 Days Later <\/em>(and its subsequent sequel), the extremely popular <em>Resident Evil (2002)<\/em> and <em><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0363547\/\"><strong>Dawn of The Dead<\/strong> remake (2004)<\/a> <\/em>signaled a new golden age of the undead. Frank Darabont&#8217;s <strong><em>The Walking Dead<\/em><\/strong> worked its way up to becoming one of the most-watched series of the past decade, spawning spin-offs and hooking even more fans on zombies.<br \/>\n<!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><br \/>\n <!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #5! --><br \/>\nWhile people loved a great, traditionally scary zombie film, the contrast between terrifying, unrealistic situations and the banality of everyday normal existence can bring both tension and humor. Zombie fans love comedy zombie movies, or &#8216;zom-coms;&#8217; although everyone debates how they would handle a zombie apocolypse, the comedy stems from the unrealistic solutions that are presented to average people who aren&#8217;t actually action stars. For example, films like <em><strong>Zombieland<\/strong> (2009), <\/em><em><strong>Shaun of the Dead<\/strong> (2004)<\/em>, and <em>The Dead Don&#8217;t Die<\/em> (2019) put a comedic twist on the typical zombie scenario. <em>Shaun of the Dead<\/em> followed two best friends who come up with a genius plan of saving Shaun&#8217;s girlfriend, mum, and step-dad, then hiding out in the pub and &#8216;waiting for it all to blow over.&#8217; <em>Zombieland<\/em> detailed the monotonous routines of people who are trying to &#8216;stay limber&#8217; and avoid the undead, all while taking a cross-country, Twinkie-eating tour of the States. Combining the completely unrealistic with the realistically mundane was totally brilliant fodder for comedy. This may explain why books like <em>The Zombie Survival Guide<\/em> by Max Brooks are so popular.<br \/>\n <!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #6! --> <\/p>\n<div class=\"body-img responsive-img img-article-item\" style=\"padding-bottom:56.25%\">\n<figure>\n <picture>\n <!--[if IE 9]>\n <video style=\"display: none;\"><![endif]--><source media=\"(min-width: 1024px)\" sizes=\"750px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Zombieland.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=750&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" sizes=\"943px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Zombieland.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=943&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 481px)\" sizes=\"767px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Zombieland.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=767&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" sizes=\"480px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Zombieland.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=480&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><!--[if IE 9]><\/video><![endif]--><br \/>\n<img width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"Woody Harrelson and Jesse Eisenberg draw out some zombies in Zombieland\"\/>\n <\/picture><figcaption class=\"body-img-caption\">Sony Pictures Releasing<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Not only do audiences love the unrealistic nature of a zombie apocalypse, but the violence presented to viewers in these movies is something they&#8217;re attracted to, and is definitely one of the most-loved aspects of zombie cinema. What exactly is so entertaining about the gory elements here? The idea of the undead provides nearly infinite variations on special effects and creative kills that most gory films simply don&#8217;t tap into. The fact that we sit and think, &#8220;yeah, I could definitely do that,&#8221; certainly has something to do with it, too; there is something about slow-moving and idiotic monsters which allows audiences to insert themselves into the pictures and elevate their own competency. Perhaps people underestimate what it takes to fight off a swarm of flesh-eating zombies, but almost everyone thinks they can handle it, and that&#8217;s exactly what makes these movies so entertaining. It might also be tuning into our <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/nofilmschool.com\/why-we-write-zombie-stories\">fantasies of escapism<\/a>, the idea of leaving society behind and focusing purely on survival (something which has certainly become more prevalent in the age of pandemics). Everyone uses their imagination and wonders what it would be like. The naturally embedded human instinct for survival surfaces with these films, thanks to zombies.<br \/>\n<!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><br \/>\n <!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #7! --><br \/>\nUltimately, these brain-eating fiends really do allow viewers to &#8216;open their minds,&#8217; imagining a post-apocalyptic fantasy world while still getting some good laughs in. But who&#8217;s to say it&#8217;s completely unrealistic? The past couple of years have certainly shown us the increasing possibility of apocalypse, so put on a zombie film, limber up, and get out the survival guide.
