Zombie films are a sub-genre of horror but can also cross over into a sub-genre of comedy, science fiction, thriller or romance. Zombies in films are commonly portrayed as cannibalistic and they are also seen as a scavenger. Zombies in films are all viewed differently as in some films they're viewed stupid as they are meant to be brain dead, however in some films they are viewed as quite intelligent as they're able to track down the living to eat. Zombies are also well known to work in big groups, as soon as one zombie sees you alive another 20 will be there in seconds and this is why I think that their hunting skills are sharp. Sometimes in drastic situations the uninfected will pretend they're infected to escape the area they're in. Here are three clips from the films below, these show big differences in both the survivors and the infected.
The films above are 28 Days Later, Shaun of The Dead and 28 Weeks Later.
In this clip you can see a survivor turn cannibalistic and attack almost everyone in sight in search for his friends/family.
In this clip you can see the survivors are fed up and are willing to do anything to survive, however one character does subvert which is Ed, he doesn't seem to care whether he or any of the others get eaten or not. Ed in the film however is one of the strongest team mates.
In this clip you can see the militants being told to shoot everyone on ground level, we know as the audience however that there is an uninfected young boy amidst all of the chaos. This clip shows the pain and the contradiction that the militants are facing as they don't want to shoot uninfected people but they have to follow orders and do what's right.
