BIRCH-BAYLEY, NICOLE
- Abstract
The article presents an analysis of zombie films, an aspect of the horror genre, focusing on ways in which such films made in the 21st century have represented themes of global concern and terrorism. Particular attention is given to the influence of horror director George Romero on the zombie film sub-genre. Several films are analyzed including "28 Days Later," directed by Danny Boyle and starring Cillian Murphy, Noah Huntley, and Naomie Harris, "Dawn of the Dead," a 2004 remake of the original Romero film directed by Zack Snyder, and "Diary of the Dead," directed by Romero.
