![]() ![]() There is an explanation for why the zombies seemingly become 'smart' setting traps, using zombie dogs, etc. Wasn't there an ethical issue to be explored here? Would she have reverted to being a normal person again? Would she have remembered her time as a 'zombie'? Would she have been grateful to Smith, or despised him for experimenting on her? This links to a big issue which was only very fleetingly examined - Smith was carrying out experiments on humans, and had killed scores of them in the process. They could have made much more use of the zombie woman who was in the process of being cured. I thought the film ended abruptly and missed the chance to explore some interesting issues. ![]() It would also have lessened the risk to him. Why, for someone who was so devoted to his dog, did he not keep a lethal injection or his gun on standby while nuring the dog - this would have prevented him from having to strangle the dog and given it a much more humane death. Why was Smith injecting it? Did he think he had something that might cure it? (the 'rate cure' perhaps?). Which brings me to the next odd scene - the dog's death. It thought this scene fitted poorly with the resy of the film, and was just designed to show the dog's loyalty and Smith's dilemma once it was wounded. In all other scenes the zombie humans are carzed beings who just want to attack. Then of course there's the fact the zombie man doesn't attack, just leaving it to his dogs, (even when the zombie dogs are clearly coming off second best). So seemingly not only are the 'zombie' humans presumably able to keep 'pets', the zombie/rabid dogs are able to be kapt as 'pets' and follow orders rather than simple attacking all and sundry, including thier zombie 'master'. ![]() And not only this, he appears to be keeping two 'rabid/zombie' dogs in a domesticated manner. Yet one of the zombies sets a trap for Smith's character. They attack like animals, don't appear to communicate by language, and are able to be caught be a fairly simple trap using blood - a trap which evidently Smith's character has set scores of times. In all the other scenes, the 'zombies' are basically animals, crazed beings whose bloodlust in their one driving instinct. Like many commenters here I thought there were a few odd questions posed. I enjoyed the film and thought it was good, but to be honest I thought they could have done more with what was a very good concept. ![]()
