Why
are we afraid of zombies
- Research by the Open University show that people are scared of near human faces. The research started in the 70’s, with robots, they were investigating whether they should make robots resemble humans or not, and they found that people found too close a resemblance to be sinister. Simple things such as empty eyes on a face with uncanny human resemblance can be scary for people, which is why zombies are so scary!
Why people love the zombie apocalypse
- People like the zombie apocalypse as is seen as a time where peoples strengths and weaknesses shine through, and our characters really come through. It is seen as petrifying; however it shows things that we see as normal such as cities and towns, in complete destruction. Humans have a natural instinct to survive, and really we all fancy ourselves as a bit of a survivor!
Why we love zombies
- Our love for movies started with the night of the living dead, zombies are easy to interperet with make-up and costume, and limbs can be missing or blood all over them. Zombie movies are focused on the survivors, rather than the killer, and the battle is usually between humans and humanity, and puts people in difficult situations. The slow moving nature of zombies helps to build up tension. Also it shows how people come into existence alongside with zombies, showing how they even get used to it! However their guard always has to be up because zombies always seem to be hiding round the corner ready to bite them
