Welcome to Zombie Review!

Zombies are the quintessence of what we fear and abhor to not only facing as an enemy but within ourselves. We all have the capacity to become like them, once bitten. They are the undead; they still appear in the physical form of our friends, family and loved ones, yet their eyes carry no remembrance or emotion, with arms outstretched in horrifying embrace to satiate their hunger for flesh. This is a hell from which one cannot awaken.

In truth, Zombie films are not your regular horror films. They are less about zombies and more about us. How would we act, and what would we think and do if the dead bean to walk the earth to feed on the living, and our only weapons are our wits, intellect, and the items around the house or office.

This is my tribute to the incredible genre popularized by John Romero whose landmark film, Night of the Living Dead (1968) instilled not only a fear in us all but a powerfully appealing phenomenon that forces us to realize that any of those characters could have been us. Do we try to survive together, or do we allow our differences to cause us to fly at each other’s throats while the undead are hammering on every door, clawing at every entryway. At the end of the world will we keep our honor, character and integrity, or will we violate everything we've learned in life that makes us human in order to survive against the living dead?

We may never know how frail our humanity is when something that appears human is about to take it away.
