For the love of God zombies are so damn lame. There's absolutely nothing scary about them and that stupid soap opera walking dead has completely ruined what made them semi-interesting. Vampires were ruined by all the metrosexual mtv crap, and now zombies are even more played out. It's like horror for people who can't handle horror.
The way they did zombies in this was awesome. It showed us a different view on them as when the guy supposedly had turned and he triggered the smart phone to come on by mistake he heard his girlfriend or whatever and knew who it was. He then realized he could not have what he had before and killed himself. Therefore the people doing V/H/S/2 are bringing up what if when a person that has died and is infected and becomes a zombie really is still human inside? This is different from what The Walking Dead gives us. Oh and last but not least while I kind of get upset that they are using tech that is not VHS related I did like the Go Pro camera in that it gave us this different view of being a zombie. It was really cool.
I agree completely with everything you said. I just wish I could have seen this about 5 years earlier before zombies were totally castrated by pop culture.
