Comparing Zombies With Zombies '

There are a ton of zombie movies out there but a few tell a compelling and thrilling story like 28 Days later. No doubt it’s a brilliant movie but there are a few basic things in this movie which donot make sense. Like when a person gets infected with the rage virus he starts looking for human flesh, basically loses his/her mind and searches for food/flesh all the time. What I found weird is that although these zombies have no way to discriminate between a non infected and infected(this is explained in the movie) they donot attack each other, They do not kill other infected

Zombie movies have haunted movie theater screens since the 1930s. Yet, the definition of 'the zombie' has changed since the beginning of the new millennium. While a few decades ago, zombies were described as dead people who escaped their graves and started walking the earth again, new movies have altered that definition and now “[...] include still-living characters infected with an incurable disease that extinguishes their personalities and turns them into bloodthirsty killers” (Kay 1), or “[…] dead people who are still alive, and driven to kill and cannibalize the living” (McAlister 460). Especially these new zombies, still-living, yet infected humans, “[...] fast runners and swift climbers, [who] think nothing of smashing

When people combine their fears and imaginations, they end up with some fascinating, yet horrifying, creatures. Killers of the night, such as vampires, or the extinction of the human race, usually due to a zombie outbreak. Vampires and zombies are both fictional beings who have made their way into society through years of storytelling, novels, and media. However, what sets them apart from each other? While they are both products of our eerie imagination, which one’s existence is more believable?

In the modern world, media outlets and pop culture constantly revive the idea of zombies taking over human society. From The Walking Dead to Michael Jackson’s “Thriller,” zombies are portrayed as slow-moving living-dead creatures shown in mass amounts to create the idea of consumption. While this monster as it is depicted in movies and television shows is nonexistent, there are living zombies walking the surface every day. They hide in the shadows of town and often only wear the clothes on their back. They spend every day trying to survive with the little amount of money they can scavenge. Money to them acts as the cure to help them get the necessary resources they need. Many people in this nation and across the world are categorized as living under the poverty line. The spectrum of people ranges from homeless and sleeping on the streets to large families settling in garage-sized apartments. Even when taking out of consideration the similarities in physical appearance, zombies are an accurate representation of the major issue of poverty in today’s society due to the instant eeriness that the stereotypes of both subjects represent and the idea that the poor are unable to receive the necessary health treatments.

Zombies or cannibalistic humanoids are popular among the horror genre of myths and legends. As a result, they have became dominant in the pop culture with their appearance in numerous iconic films and shows. Within these legends, stories or films, zombies have been depicted in different versions. They can either be quick and cunningly vicious or slow and mindless. Some stories even portray them having a smart efficient society where they utilize a strange sense of teamwork. Although all of these versions have its comparisons, zombies always end up having a relation to the infamous virus that infects

The zombie was a human some time in its life, which makes them closer to humans, and creates a less lethal view among them. The zombie does not have the same intelligence or agility as a human, but they have the ability to transit anywhere a human can transit, without daylight being a problem. Once people are converted into zombies they lose all their affection towards family members. They turn into a different creature, making them lethal. Sunlight will not affect a zombie compared to a vampire but that does not make the zombie more lethal. Vampires on the opposite side they only have the human corporal shape similar to that of a human. The only resemblance that a vampire has with a human is that humans are the prey and vampires the predator in the food chain. They do not have anything in common with humans, which makes vampires feel no remorse when killing a human. Overall vampire and humans do not sympathize. That makes the vampire a more lethal monster than the zombie, seemed from the relationship that they have with

Both the general perception of zombies and the description

Rather than following a single path, as it had in the past, modern zombie evolution has branched out like roots on a tree. According to Kevin Boon there are currently 9 major classifications of zombies “...Zombie Drones, Zombie Ghouls, Bio Zombies, Cultural; Zombies, Zombie Ghosts, and Zombie Ruses.” These many classifications show how the progression of the zombie has become more than just one thing. The plots of movies have changed along with the types of zombies. Rather than just a small outbreak, that are often full scale zombie apocalypses. These large scale outbreaks are caused by many things, such as a cure for cancer in the 2007 thriller I am Legend, or government experimentation, such as in the 2002 Sci Fi flick 28 Days Later. The Zombie has also gone on to attain speed, strength, and intelligence, making it a much bigger threat than before. Imagine the difference between coming across a voodoo zombie, which would be a bit unsettling at most, and coming across a modern zombie, which would likely mean inevitable death. As technology and special effects have advanced, so has the ability to create more and more terrifying versions of the

The film 28 Days Later, go deep into the world of monstrosity and the audience’s perception and understanding of monstrousness. 28 Days Later is a 2002 British post-apocalyptic film, which gives a refreshing take on the “zombie” horror genre. The film follows Jim and a few other survivors as they navigate themselves in a post-apocalyptic world, where the undead is among the living. However, the living is even more dangerous than the undead. The reason 28 Days Later is one of the most critically acclaimed zombie horror movies, is the way it portrays zombies. In all the history of zombie horror movies, zombies were always depicted the same way. They were portrayed as slow, dumb, and inhuman, they were viewed as these disfigured creatures. However, in 28 Days Later, the zombies had the characteristics of most humans. They possessed human-like speed, intelligence, and they were infected with the disease that most humans have, rage. That is what set this film apart from others and made it truly scary. The “monsters” in the film, was just an unhinged version of ourselves. People will often mistreat, kill, and lie to each other, even if it was not necessary, it is just in their nature. The humans are now a new kind of monsters, and that will be portrayed through the theme, music, and editing.

In “Love Your Zombie Neighbor”, the following section, examines how we perceive zombies as empty bodies with nothing left of their former selves. He also gives examples of zombies that still having a sliver of their old self, like Fido. Then explaining that if zombies

What to do if zombies come during school hours is to remain calm. You should get what you need and evacuate to the safest place you , or around that area. You will need survival skills to survive during a time like this. You should get what you need and evacuate to the safest place you know or around that area.

The differences between zombies and the various composite monsters is that they both are produced by different ways. Zombies are made by a disease and they can produce more by infecting humans with a bite. To kill zombies you just need to shot them in the head. While composite monsters are made by science using two living things a human and some other animal to make a half-human, half-beast creature. The different fears that they represent is the mix of human nature and the threat of a new kind of life is said to be dangerous. They also fear because theses creatures might have the intelligence of us humans plus whatever the other half animal part can do. To prevent these fears is to give them laws like, they can’t run on all fours and they

Further, zombies are not lively beings. Having but one motive in life can make a person very miserable. On top of this, a zombie’s persistence shows that they have no sense of right or wrong. They are portrayed as destructive and having a constant hunger for other humans. This further demonstrates their irrational desires and how far they will go to complete whatever their mission might be.

Although zombies are formed from dead humans, they have hardly any similarities in appearance. A zombie’s face consists of the same characteristics as a human’s, but a zombie’s skin has become ruined due to decomposition. Their eyes appear to be much different once they have become a zombie. Their pupils are shaded white. Zombies are also different from humans in the way they maneuver. While humans normally move very easily, zombies have a

People had a fear of the mysterious and unknown thing because they could not predict the consequences of getting hurt, so, zombies can be considered as a type of the other in the horror movie. Many people believed that the zombies were a threat to humanity. In the article “Death Man Still Walking: Explaining the Zombie Renaissance”, Kyle Bishop mentioned that “They possess merely a rotting brain and have no real emotional capacity.”(20) In the movie, the zombies were the walking corpse. Unlike a human, zombies did not have any conscious and people could not communicate with them.Usually, the zombies attacked to human and ate human’s brain. People turned into zombies after they got bitten by a zombie. Also, zombies represented from the death and they were a dead body. Many people feared to death because people could not control the death. People did not have fear when they lived in a peaceful society. Bishop said that “monsters would not prove much of a threat if they appeared in the modern-day world.”(21) In the civilization, people felt safe because the government made some law and created a military to protect the citizens.For example, the police officers tried to stop the crime and prevented the chaos. When people dialed the emergency number, the police went to the location immediately and helped people to solve their problems. Because all the rules broke out after the society collapsed, people could do everything. People could express their emotions and act freely in the dystopian world. During the apocalypse, lots of zombies occurred and they attacked to the living things.When the society changed, people needed to find a way to adapt the environment. Perhaps, for the survivors, using violence was the best way they used for self-defence. As a result, people were hopeless and afraid when they stayed in an unfamiliar
