For those who watch this for a zombie flick, this will be a disappointment. That is not what this film is about.
This is a movie of subtext. It is a statement on multi-culturalism and the demand to conform to social norms. The Zombies can represent any modern stereotype - from homosexuals to immigrants, or people with HIV or disabilities.
It is a statement about society's respect for the individual. We want to think of ourselves as socially permissive; accepting of differences; PC.
But the more people just want to be left alone, the more our fear-driven prejudices emerge. The climax of the movie is a wake-up call to audience of just how much we, through the course of the movie, have judged the characters, based solely on stereotypes.
This isn't a Zombie flick; it is a human flick, with zombies.
