In this episode of Vox Macabre, host Kit Mann takes listeners through three unique zombie films that each offer their own twist on the undead. First up is Maggie (2015), a somber and emotional exploration of a father (Arnold Schwarzenegger) struggling with his daughter’s slow transformation into a zombie. Kit dives into how this film shifts the traditional zombie narrative into a more intimate and heart-wrenching family drama.
Next on the docket is The Girl with All the Gifts (2016), which blends science fiction with horror, following a young girl, Melanie (Sennia Nanua), who is part human, part zombie, and a key to humanity’s survival. We’ll explore the film’s complex themes of morality and survival, alongside its fresh take on the genre.
Finally, we discuss The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue (1974), a zombie cult classic that combines 1970s environmental concerns with a grisly apocalypse. Kit delves into the film’s impact on zombie cinema and its lasting legacy.
