OK, did I miss something with the ending?

I get the ending. Very predictable and you could tell about 30 minutes into the movie how it was going to end.

BUT .......

They show the kid all hunky dory walking around, life is good, etc.

Uhhhhh ..... so his best friend . . . the stoner guy . . . the school's two star athletes .... and one of the most popular girls in school COME UP MISSING OR DEAD .... and nobody notices or cares????

And the biggest thing. The zombie escaped!!!!! The zombie who loves to attack and kill people, has just escaped into the city . . . . and nobody notices????

These facts are important because the last two scenes of the movie present the school like nothing is wrong or out of the ordinary.

You have five kids missing and a pscyho zombie running around killing people . . . but life is all good??????????

Ricky would have needed time to set up the basement room, get dresses, etc. I thought it was implied that Joann had been down there for a while so they would have already had funerals for the kids and wrapped that part up. Ricky obviously didn't tell anyone about the original Deadgirl.

I thought the one kid at the very end with the blonde girl (the ones Ricky was looking at while sitting by the tree) was Wheeler. Looked very much like him but it was kinda from a distance.
Maybe it was all in his head - or a book he was reading.

Everyone is clearly over thinking this ending.
Lets analyse this ending simply.
Ricky in a daze, blissfully smiling, ecstatic, clearly fantasizing about going home to his zombie love, cue the romantic indie music etc.
Whats wrong with this????????
To do what Ricky did in the ending would go against and negate EVERYTHING his character established from the starting point. He had strong conviction and his "morals" remained unaffected and consistent.
My theory I believe to be precisely right is...
Did anyone happen to notice the ending resembled a DREAM SEQUENCE?
The last scene just before the ending is Ricky clambering to make the RIGHT decision but is weighing his options frantically and instantly cut to the blissfully depraved ending.
Hes suddenly in school living out one of the possible "best case scenarios."
To me it can be interpreted one of two ways.
1.)IT ACTUALLY HAPPENED
2.)DREAM SEQUENCE because there is NO happy ending or outcome to this disaster.

Obviously the morality was more the focus of the film.

I think the escaped 'deadgirl' was seen running into the desert and just wanted to get away from her abuse. The bully/jock also became a zombie in school - what happened to him?

Yes I get your point though, 4 kids missing from school (one of the athletes was untouched and the other became a zombie ni school?) and their social relationships might uncover the secret.

How about an untouched, unguarded ex-lunatic asylum that these kids are the first to break into. Or WHY or HOW the deadgirl was left there in the forst place!

So is she a zombie vampire or a vampire zombie?
