Introduction : the themes of the current zombie movie genre -- Night of the living dead (1968) : Romero's first look at Hell, sin, and human nature -- Dawn of the dead (1978) : consumerism, materialism, and the fourth circle of hell -- Day of the dead (1985) : violence, perverted reason, and the lower circles of Hell -- Dawn of the dead (2004) : Limbo and the partial victory of reason and virtue -- Land of the dead (2005) : the deepest abyss of Hell and the final hope -- Conclusion : the meaning and future of zombie movies
"For nearly forty years the zombie films of George A. Romero have presented viewers with hellish visions of our world overrun by flesh-eating ghouls. This rigorous but entertaining study shows how these films use Christian imagery from the Bible and Dante to probe deeper questions of human nature and purpose, while also giving a chilling and darkly humorous critique of modern, secular America that should be heeded by Christian and humanist alike."--Jacket
