I watched this and “Amusement” the same night hoping for good low budget horror. This was way better.

Ignoring the subtext is definitely an option and I know a lot of people that took that route with it. I enjoyed both aspects of it though. A lot of zombie films do go the political route I think it is because zombies offer a lot of obvious metaphors. Zombie films just being fun mindless fun is probably the more natural approach and the one that most horror fans seem to be for. I think no matter what you are looking for though the film can offer that.

I watched this film before hearing the Jay Lee interview on HMF radio. I did not pay any attention to the subtext. I suspect that the film started out as a ‘zombie stripper’ movie and a political subtext was added later to make the movie relevant. For some reason all zombie script writers seem to feel the need to use the walking and living dead to condemn the military-industrial complex and capitalism.

W gave the horror industry 8 years to make movies with political subtexts and only two directors did it (one of the Masters of Horrors featured a zombie story where the undead were US soldiers killed in Iraq).

The movie defnitely rocks though.

hehe no problem mike. I thought he did combine both elements really well and like Lee said if you just one senseless fun you can have that but it also says a lot without feeling like a lecture.
