I was thinking the other day; how do Zombies survive? Yes, I know they consume the flesh of the living, and so forth, but really, think about it.
The “survivors” hide, and fight off the undead, and managed to keep going. Now we can assume that the zombies eventually will outweigh the population of survivors at least 10000:1, as dictated by most post apocalyptic movies of this nature. Now, as a moving “living” entity, food is needed to keep energy up. Movement takes energy, and so the more energy used, the more “fuel” needed.
Now, for the record, 28 Days Later and it’s sequel are not adequate reference for this idea, as the “infected” in that movie weren’t actually dead, but simply infected with a disease (“rage”) that overrode all intelligence and left the person with nothing but anger. Those people were in the end defeated because they starved to death, a side affect of having their ability to pick up some food and eat it erased from their brains. They just attacked.
Now, the undead KNOW to eat, it’s just their diets consist purely of your sweet, sweet cranial juices. But when the basic population of people have been feasted on or turned into the undead themselves, where do they get their feed from? They can’t just stop eating, because regardless of the fact that they may be dead, the body still needs fuel to move.
I can only assume that after awhile, the zombie just lays the fuck down and pretty much goes to sleep. It’s the only logical thing. No more food, no more energy. Because they’re already dead, they can never really die, but they would lose all ability to do anything apart from stare out in hunger. Of course, this gives survivors ample ability to simply wander out and kill them with ease.
With this in mind, it seems the living will inevitably conquer the undead, right? Or do you disagree? I will fight you, via the comments section below.
Well if I had to pinpoint one, it would be Silent Hill. The original. There was something ominous about that game. Although it’s graphics are extremely out-dated, everything about the game generated a sense of extreme unease as it was played. Composer Akira Yamaoka created such an atmosphere that you could feel exactly what the game makers wanted you to feel.
