Zombie films are a subgenre of horror and science fiction films that feature undead beings, commonly referred to as zombies. These films typically depict a pandemic or outbreak that causes a significant portion of the population to turn into reanimated corpses, often characterized by a deterioration of bodily functions and a craving for human flesh. The narrative usually revolves around the survival of the living as they navigate a world overrun by these creatures, exploring themes of isolation, societal collapse, and the human condition. Zombie films often employ elements of gore, suspense, and action, and they may also include social commentary on issues such as consumerism, conformity, and the fragility of civilization. Iconic examples include titles like “Night of the Living Dead,” “28 Days Later,” and “World War Z.” Over the years, the genre has evolved to include various interpretations of zombie lore, sometimes incorporating humor, romance, or political satire.
