It seems like people flock to zombie movies the same way actual zombies go toward brains. Maybe if Hollywood had more brains they could come up with different concepts so people wouldn't be subjected to the same idea over and over again. Ultimately the success of zombie films is a reflection of how society itself is becoming zombified. The masses are becoming more and more numb to stimulus the way zombies can't feel pain, but instead of eating people we consume the latest tech gadget. We love zombie movies because it's like looking into the future at a world we subconsciously know is coming. We want to prepare for it mentally so it's not as much of a shock. Maybe there will be zombies, but odds are they'll be the bath salts kind that can run fast and look just like regular ol' crackheads. Unfortunately, there's no way to prepare for that. If we continue down this path of repetitive and trite behavior becoming zombies is inevitable. I wonder then when we're all zombies, will we make way too many movies about normal people?
