〈Summary〉
This essay was written about the hidden message in horror movies. There were three examples of the secret message of zombie movies: the spread of communism, the dangers of submission, and the guilt of modern consumer society. I don’t like horror movies, so I don’t think I’ll watch them, but I thought it was interesting to see that the director was conscious of making them as a way to make social criticism and tackle issues related to politics and culture.
