Serious Zombie Culture Entertainment

     The primary portrayal of a zombie movie is one that is associated with a horror or thrilling connotation. World War Z is a perfect example of this because of its action packed scenes that are filled with suspense and the audience being completely oblivious to what lies beyond the corner. This is a style of Zombie Culture that has been adopted most of all and happens to be the most common. There are numerous similar zombie culture movies and games that follow this example, such as The Walking Dead, and many popular video games such as Call of Duty, Left 4 Dead, Last of Us, and many more that portray a sense of seriousness or urgency. These are some of many examples that illustrate the significance that a realistic sense of thrill or horror has had on Zombie Culture in society and the industry of film as well because of their rising popularity.

     This concept of the zombie was first adopted in the movie Night of the Living Dead by the director George Romero, who depicted zombies as being unintelligent, slow, and mindlessly hungry, but yet still extremely intimidating at the same time, especially in large groups. This concept has endured from the Night of the Living Dead, when Zombie movies were in their infancy to today as well, and although in World War Z, the zombies can move at a more fast pace, they are still dormant and mindless at the same time, except increasingly more intimidating in large groups due to their heightened speed, which is a twist on the typical zombie movie stereotype. When taking all of this into consideration, it is easy to see the effect that suspenseful zombie movies such as World War Z have had on the world of Zombie Culture illustrating that it has endured, and for the most part, has stayed intact all the way into today’s society, after being introduced several generations ago, and will continue to endure for even more if not infinite generations to come.
