Which in turn, causes terror and chaos everywhere that they may roam which makes us fear about the end of the world. These simple thoughts about zombies are scary enough to think about which many movie makers rely on when they are making their own movies about this genre. Zack Snyder jumps into the zombie horror film genre by using George A. Romero’s movie, Dawn of the Dead, as a baseline for his take on the zombie genre. Snyder makes a major update on how the zombies moved, what they looked like, and all of the special effects that come with a zombie horrors movie. Using cinematography

    Visually the poster is aesthetically beautiful but fails to capture the true nature of the film. In the poster Adrian appears to be in danger but in the film the presence of danger stems from his mother’s paranoia. If Rosemary’s Baby occurred in a reality where the supernatural was an accepted truth her conclusion about the coven would be easier to accept. The existence of witches is considered implausible and to have someone insists they are being hunted by these mystical beings only suggests mental illness. We are demanded to pray for Adrian and yet his innocence is a cover up of his parentage.…

    Where did our twenty-first century incarnations of the zombie come from, and how did they develop as time elapsed? James Parker’s “Our Zombies, Ourselves” discusses several of the past and present zombies, their stereotypical designs, and how different medias portray society’s definition of a zombie. One of the first subjects Parker covers is that of society’s preconception of the undead. We, and apparently everyone else dating back to the early 1900s, imagine the zombie as abysmally lethargic, with greyed skin, mutilated limbs, and an unending desire to consume living flesh. Parker regales the reader with a tale of the zombie’s evolution through poetry, books, movies, television, and even songs.…
