    These zombies gnaw and pounce as they sniff the air for any human flesh. They pound doors and windows and get agitated once confronted with 10-foot cyclone fences. Once they are shot in the head, they die. Basically that is it on the zombie’s side of view because we never get to know what they are thinking. One of the most exhilarating pleasures of this movie is the script flipping. This is definitely a twist on the century’s most popular horror. “Warm Bodies” is a nicely directed and well-placed terrific love story with a lot of…

    The zombies in the film are amazing, which I would expect now knowing the breadth and style of Tom Savini's work. Though the advanced decay seen on some the dead make me wonder, how recently the dead are that are returning to life. The advanced makeup effects and... well budget, do a lot for this film. My favorite shot of a zombie is in the beginning when the burial cloths fall off one revealing the wounds from an autopsy. It's a great shot that relies on minimal make-up and effects for maximum effect.…

The Reagan administration feared the emergence of a left wing government and their military alone could not defuse civil disobedience; therefore, the United States showed investments their military during the uproar.

    The topic that I would like to address for my zombie project is a more efficient mode of transportation in order to survive a zombie apocalypse. In The Zombie Survival Guide, Max Brooks he explains different means of transportation but limits them to water or air travel. In an apocalypse, healthy surviving humans should not be restricted to their means of travel. In order to stay alive, an adequate form of transportation is a necessity. Walking is too dangerous and slow, while a standard car purposes many different problems. A solar powered or a hydrogen fuel cell car are optimum modes of transportation during a zombie apocalypse.…

Around forty of them were coming towards me, I turned around to try to escape.. at least five more in that direction. i sprayed the five zombies down with my gun, pulled the pin on a grenade, dropped it, and sprinted in that direction. I made it onto the street.…

    When people watch these type of movies, they get scare, but it is what we are currently living in our daily activities. I think that the idea of Zombie can be compared to how people are dependent on technology. A good example is when there is a young person walking in the streets looking at his phone and not paying attention to nothing else. People are so dependent on technology that even personal contact is not necessary anymore. Moreover, the idea of an apocalypse that will destroy the world transmitted by movies is also happening right now. Humans are destroying the environment and contaminating all the natural resources. Furthermore, the world is living its own extinction, and it is due to the people’s bad habits and overconsumption. Finally, these movies produce on people to question: what would they do if they were in those situations? Thus, People can challenge their concepts and abilities about what to do when watching these…

People like scary movies because they make them feel good. Even though people scream, shout or even cry during some scary movies they end up feeling better about themselves because of realizing that some people suffer more than them even if those people were imaginary.The subconsciousness mind can't tell the difference between true and imaginary experience, that's why movies can change our moods to a great extent even though we are aware that they are not real.
