The movie inspires this kind of intellectual input from the viewer; Of course, you could just watch it as a tense, scary horror flick."
I like the idea of it being a classic box ticking zombie movie and an original film. Spot on!
The politics angle hasn't been mentioned on the main site either and I think you make an excellent point.
