Classification of Zombie Movies Essay - 913 Words

I have determined that there are three different types of zombie movie. First, the movies that showcase the slow, but still startling zombies, like Night of the Living Dead. Night’s â€Å"zombies are slow, the humans just get themselves into trouble by reacting stupidly, or not paying enough attention to the problem.† (G.A.

Finally, the films that make you really fear zombies. Movies like Day of the Dead, (the 2008 remake, not G.A. Romero’s original) which portray zombies that seem to be aware of their surroundings and can do their own brand of problem solving.
