Man, I’ve had it with all these zombies attacking my television screen, faster, tougher and more … how shall I put it? But a film like Zombieland wouldn’t be any less scary or entertaining without the f-estival from title shot to credits. (Or Return of the Living Dead giving us the zombies’ fixation on brains without which Plants vs. Zombies just wouldn’t be the same as whatever it is.) And crucially, as in World War Z, once zombies have taken over everything, what fuels their rotting corpses or holds them together? Are we becoming zombies, too numb for all but the most lurid thrills and too dumb even for pseudo-science?
