Why do
you think zombocalypse films and media are so popular these days?
Zombie films are very popular because it creates a scenario in
your head where you can just wonder about what you would do if it ever
happened. If you think about it, it’s a situation that can potentially give
somebody a position of power while installing fear and basic survival instincts
into other words a normal human being. In other horror films such as paranormal
activity, what are you going to do against something you can see? That’s what makes
it scary but it lacks the position of power and survival instincts. The people
that get put into these films generally aren’t super special or built (muscular
wise). They are just your average everyday human being not limited cubical
office worker to the gun toting redneck. All it is is a “what if” situation that
the everyday person can relate to simply as that
I think you mean "what are you going to do against something you [can't] see?" Other than that I agree with all of it. :)
ReplyDeleteGood catch, Dylan.
ReplyDeleteI also think, Draven, you're looking for "otherwise" instead of "other words."
This post has some very good analysis, especially when you discuss the types of characters that you normally find in zombie and other horror movies.
