Another horror talk fest another argument erupted over The Walking Dead and the whole zombie sub genre. For mine modern zombie fare works off three basic ideas, originally laid down by Romero and repeated in TWD and any number of zombie movies.
1. A group of survivors is the focal point, the zombies are a clear danger but not the focus.
2. There is a lot more danger out there in the post apocalyptic world than the zombies, other survivors are more of a concern.
3. Zombies are us and we them, Savini pushed this idea hard in his NOTLD remake.
If y'all want a gore hayride check out an R rated slasher flick or anything by Eli Roth, zombie movies/shows on occasion get down in the trenches but generally its to underline a plot point.
Anyone else got thoughts on this?
