Hello readers of gamer.ru, I believe each of you has something dear to your heart, something that evokes nostalgia, and it doesn't matter what it is, you like it :). In my childhood, when I was just beginning to form my interests, my sister brought home a horror movie, which later had a significant impact on my character and behavior (yes, yes, dear sister). Although that movie was not related to the theme of this post, it got me interested in various evils at a young age. Often wandering the web in search of something interesting, I decided to see if there was anything about zombies on Gamer and write a post from my perspective.

Zombiew0t?

Part One: Zombie What?

If you have ever tried to find a definition for “zombie”, you have undoubtedly come across an article on Wikipedia, but we all know that copy-pasting is not cool, right? I will try to share everything I can from my own perspective :)

A zombie, in the sense discussed here, is a dead person who has somehow come back to life (be it an unknown virus or an Armageddon summoned from above) and has begun to hunt the living, primarily targeting humans. How to identify these cuties:

  • Someone is dead and eating a human – that's a zombie.

  • A body part of the person opposite has fallen off – that's a zombie.

  • If you ask, “Can you tell me the time?” and in response, you hear moans and an attempt to bite you – that’s definitely a zombie.

Originally, zombies were just a legend heard from one of the African tribes. Later, when they reached more civilized territories, zombies gained popularity primarily in cinematography.

Part Two: Zombies in Movies.

Thus, zombies made their way to the screens. I won't list all the films now, as it's unnecessary. Instead, I want to tell you something else. Zombie movies are mostly horror films; of course, later there were comedies on this theme, but the cornerstone of the genre is horror. The goal of horror films is to scare people. Having just appeared in the eighties, walking corpses undoubtedly instilled fear and trembling in viewers, but time went on and people began to stop being afraid of the sluggishly moving dead... from that moment, all sorts of improvements to zombies began – they started to get smarter and faster.

Honestly taken from… taken *from here*.

However, don't expect that in a few years zombies will have telekinetic abilities, be able to fly, and read the minds of their food (though the last one is amusing). If you watched the latest movie mentioned in the list, then you understand perfectly that this is banal...

And so, faced with a dead end, directors began to ponder – accelerate zombies to light speed or find another alternative? After some brainstorming (a good expression!), they found it – comedy. After all, it's simple: scare people first, now you can make them laugh. Of course, this doesn't mean that you won't see horror movies featuring walking, decaying corpses; it's just that the theme of zombies branched out into different genres.

It is also worth noting the series about zombies, as they bring, so to speak,
