Evolution of the zombie film genre
Overview
The zombie film genre has undergone significant stylistic and thematic evolutions. Historically, the genre moved from the foundational works of George A. Romero to the fast-moving zombies seen in ‘28 Days Later’ and the comedic approach of ‘Shaun of the Dead’. The 2009 film ‘Zombieland’ further established the zombie comedy subgenre by following survivors navigating an apocalypse caused by Mad Cow Disease.
More recent cinematic explorations include indie and short film works that focus on identity and personal trauma. The short film ‘Semente’ uses a post-apocalyptic setting to reflect on memory and choice through the character of a drag queen zombie. Meanwhile, ‘This Is Not a Test’ explores family trauma within a small American town during an epidemic.
