What defines Zombie horror?
Zombie horror uses the walking dead as a vehicle for exploring contagion, social collapse, and the ethics of survival. The monsters are rarely the primary subject; rather, they are the pressure that forces human characters into their most desperate configurations. Short zombie films tend to focus on a single incident within the larger collapse.
