Zombie-themed movies must be no stranger, but this type of movie is a visual enjoyment or a way of emotional catharsis for the audience, and it also has huge creative potential and market space.
Because zombie movies can not only meet the audience's needs for excitement and entertainment, but also become a vehicle for exploring profound social issues.
The following recommends 3 classic zombie movies with different styles, but heavy hunting, they not only have bold settings and amazing scales, but the heroine also has an excellent figure, allowing the audience to wander on the edge of thriller and pleasure.
Part 1: "Resident Evil"
Resident Evil，2002
The curse of technology and the labyrinth of memory
This series of movies is definitely the most successful series of zombie films, and Sister Mira's good figure and the character of Alice have also become memories of a generation.
Based on the video game of the same name, the film series started a nearly 20-year film series that has become an iconic work in zombie-themed films.
The film is set in a futuristic world controlled by Ambrera. The agency, ostensibly a pharmaceutical company, is actually developing chemical and biological weapons for the military. In its secret research base "Hive", located beneath Raccoon City, an accident leads to the leak of the terrible T-virus.
The "Red Queen", the artificial intelligence system responsible for the security of the hive, took extreme measures, but was still unable to stop the spread of the virus, causing hundreds of staff to be turned into bloodthirsty zombies.
The film's protagonist, Alice (played by Milla Jovovich), is a hive security guard who loses her memory after the accident. With the arrival of a special forces, Alice is drawn into a thrilling battle for survival.
The setting of the movie plot is a clever blend of game elements and cinematic narrative. Many of the scenes and settings in the film are based on the original game, such as the iconic zombies, the giant spider monster "Licker", etc., all of which give fans of the game great satisfaction.
Although this film may not be as good as some later zombie-themed works in terms of plot depth, it undoubtedly creates an important precedent. It proved the commercial potential of the game-based film adaptation and also provided a successful template for later zombie films.
Part 2: "Terror Planet"
Planet Terror，2007
The perfect blend of sensuality and violence
This is a work that takes the aesthetics of B-grade movies to the extreme.
The focus of the film falls on Cherie, a stripper who not only has an enviable figure, but also shows extraordinary survival wisdom in a zombie-infested apocalyptic world.
A biochemical disaster at a military base has left zombies everywhere, and Cherie has unfortunately lost her iconic beautiful legs. But in the midst of this catastrophe, she finds a new way to survive - a prosthetic leg equipped with a machine gun and a mortar that transforms her from a victim into a goddess of revenge.
One of the highlights of the film is its unique visual style. Rodriguez deliberately mimicked the rough texture of '70s B-movies, including deliberately added effects such as jumping, fading, and scratching to give the illusion of watching an old movie.
The heroine Rose's performance in the film is also a highlight. She has successfully shaped the transformation from underprivileged to superhero, both sexy and strong.
Also, it should be noted that due to the large number of bloody and violent scenes in the film, as well as some explicit sexual innuendos, the film may not be suitable for all audiences.
But for audiences who like B-grade movies or nostalgic styles, this is undoubtedly a rare masterpiece.
Part 3: "Overlord"
Overlord，2018
A deadly encounter between war and the supernatural
This is a zombie-themed sci-fi horror war film, which cleverly combines the theme of World War II with zombie horror elements to create a unique story world.
The story takes place on June 6, 1944, on the eve of the Normandy landings. A U.S. airborne force was dispatched behind enemy lines on a critical mission: destroying a German communications tower to clear the way for an impending Allied landing.
However, as they approach their target, they discover that this Nazi-occupied French village hides even more terrifying secrets than they had imagined.
The opening scene of the film shocked the audience with its stunning visuals. The shooting of the airdrop scene is very live, showing the cruelty and chaos of the war vividly.
The horrific experiments carried out by Nazi scientists underneath the village, and the resulting "super soldiers", all add a thriller element to this seemingly ordinary war story.
In terms of character building, the film also makes a good attempt. The process of the main character, Beuys, who gradually grows from an ordinary recruit to a brave warrior and leader, is impressive.
Other characters, such as the French girl Chloe (played by Mathilde Olivier) and the tough Sergeant Ford (played by Wyatt Russell), also have distinct personality traits.
However, the film focuses too much on action and horror elements, and the second half has deviated from the serious war atmosphere established at the beginning. However, the film is still a fairly successful genre mash-up that breathes new life into the zombie genre.
Epilogue:
As a unique cultural phenomenon, the development process of zombie movies reflects the changes in society and people's psychological needs.
In the future, the zombie theme will continue to evolve and develop, bringing us more exciting works.
