- Abstract
- Zombies appearing in zombie movies have a number of common characteristics regardless of the year of production or story. First, they attack living people and crave for human flesh. Second, their number increases very rapidly because of their high infectiousness but they always appear in group because each individual is powerless. Third, they are removed only when their brain is destroyed. These characteristics began to appear when The Night of the Living Dead (1968) was produced by George A. Romero in the late 1960s, and they are important elements that have made zombie movies a genre of movies.
Zombie movies, which have fixed their position as a kind of popular movies since the 1960s to the present, have an easily predictable structure and ending by borrowing a formulated plot along with familiar material zombies. However, the trial of subjective viewpoint in horror movie The Blair Witch Project, (1999) called forth a great response to the description method and narrative structure of zombie movies. REC (2007) and The Diary of the Dead (2007) are some of the examples. These two are both zombie movies that borrow their form from documentaries, and because the narrator holds the camera the movies run from the narrator’s subjective viewpoint.
The present author attempts to analyze how the subjective viewpoint influences the narrative structure of zombie movies.
