This is partially because of the very graphic subject matter, and partially
because zombie flicks are traditionally elimination movies: to be an effective threat, zombies have to kill a cast member now and then.
Since then, the
zombie movie has been a staple at the cinema and at home, with offerings ranging from the totally»80s classic Night of the Comet to the biggest box office
zombie flick yet, World War Z.
Because there are only so many ways to serve up brains, and with TV's The Walking Dead doing an excellent job of that on a regular basis, filmmakers are taking unique approaches to
zombies and treating them as characters, not just mindless threats.
