Part 4/12:
One prominent critique revolves around the film’s tone and storytelling approach. The trailer suggests a shift toward a more "civilized" or subdued depiction of zombies—characters who seem almost understanding or acceptant of their horrific condition. This stands in stark contrast to the chaotic, dangerous zombies of the original films, leading some to question whether this "softening" diminishes the inherent horror and survival elements audiences expect.
Moreover, the film is a direct continuation, filmed back-to-back with the previous sequel. Yet, there is skepticism about the choice to have a different director at the helm midway, raising questions about narrative coherence and tonal consistency.
