Unlike other horror film themes which induce the audience to fear for the ‘innocents’ being killed through wanton violence by, say, a serial killer, the zombie genre, along with the vampire and werewolf genres, are more complex. When attacked by a zombie, a vampire or a werewolf, the victim is not only a victim but, after a period of gestation, also becomes a victimizer. In this sense, each of these monsters are all excellent metaphors to explain the plight of people who believe they live in a fundamentally, irreversibly corrupt or, to use a Judeo-Christian term, “Fallen” world – especially during the nihilistic epoch of Neoliberal global capitalism.
