Birth of a Zombie Nation: The Undead in the Movies
From Bela Lugosi's zombie love slave to George Romero's Living Undead through the soulless corporate workers of more recent films
In Petzold’s film, the title character appears to survive a watery car wreck on the eve of starting a lucrative new accounting job, just as the eponymous law-firm “fixer” of the same year’s Michael Clayton emerges from his own vehicular mayhem as a kind of phantom, shortly before swallowing Tilda Swinton’s sweaty-pitted she-zombie whole. In a world driven by greed and paralyzed by debt, these movies seem to be showing us that the living and the living dead have become one and the same. Which begs the question: Does that make Oliver Stone’s W. officially the first movie about a zombie in the White House?
