Is it just me or are there more zombie movies in production than ever? I think this particular genre always reflects societies pre-occupations of the moment often reflecting the political climates of that time, just look at George Romero's contributions From Night of the Living Dead (a film made in reaction to the turbulent 1960s,) to Land of the Dead (an examination of class conflict) each movie is almost a zombie metaphor for what is happening politically... presently we are occupied with potential invasion, terrorism, biological warfare and the catastrophic breakdown of society, starvation, potential cannibalism something the Zombie genre represents quite well... I think...
By the way I wanna see this film it rocks, the sense of claustaphobia of being on a plane with a zombie trolly dolly is a truely terrifying prospect... bring it on!
