It's like she wanted Barbara to kill her.

Was she supposed to be a child or something?

[–] marcus_stokes2000 14 years ago

Don't know. I think she recognized the doll as her baby.

So it wasn't her mom? I always thought it was.

I had always thought it was a mental patient that got killed in the zombie apocalypse.

I always thought it was her mom too. Maybe she really wasn't, but she reminded Barb of her mom.

I believe the old lady with the doll was blind.

Yah that is a scene that makes you feel weird when Barb kills her. It's the doll. You sort of think ... maybe that zombie has some "human" left in her....some sort of memory. I don't think it was her mom or that she was blind. Those are zombie eyes in this movie. There is a very similar scene the original "Dawn of the dead".... when they are trapped in Sears and on the other side of the glass is the teenage boy in the baseball outfit. It makes you sort of feel for the zombies.

Part of the point of zombie movies is that it's sad. They were just normal people like everyone else. In this one the zombie that got to me most was one sweet-looking little old lady who's just shambling along, when she hears all the racket from that farm house and turns to go over there. I just imagine her as a nice old grandma who liked to bake cookies and spoil her grandkids, you know? She never asked to be a zombie. None of them did.

I didn't know that. But I agree that was a sad scene. I felt sorry for her. I agree, I think that she reminded Barb of her mom.

It is sad but I agree with someone who posted on there that it was a old lady from a mental hospital place she was in probably overran with zombies the staff probably took off and thought about themselves

I thought the old Lady wads her mom?
Either way it was a sad scene.

[–] alex_nolley 13 years ago

I thought that that old lady that strolls along and turns toward the house was Barbara's mother at first,There was suppoesed to be a scene that incoorparated Barbara's mother in the film, but was replace by the "Is he dead" scene
