Another well known convention among the zombie genre is that zombies certainly do not need their whole body in order to movie around. As shown in the picture above, this zombie has had half of his body cut off yet still manages to crawl around the place.

 

 

When foreman Frank (James Karen) shows new employee Freddy (Thom Mathews) a secret military experiment in a supply warehouse, the two klutzes accidentally release a gas that reanimates corpses into flesh-eating zombies. As the epidemic spreads throughout Louisville, Ky., and the creatures satisfy their hunger in gory and outlandish ways, Frank and Freddy fight to survive with the help of their boss (Clu Gulager) and a mysterious mortician (Don Calfa).

It's very typical in a zombie movie for the zombies to have extremely pale skin. This is to emphasise how lifeless a zombie is. Some zombies also have black rings around their eyes as well to make them look quite sinister.

It is a common convention that zombies don't really have a mind and that they are possessed. Kind of like puppets. This is also supported by the fact that they can't run or walk properly and when they try to, they just sway to one side and look off balance.

 

 

A disparate group of individuals takes refuge in an abandoned house when corpses begin to leave the graveyard in search of fresh human bodies to devour. The pragmatic Ben (Duane Jones) does his best to control the situation, but when the reanimated bodies surround the house, the other survivors begin to panic. As any semblance of order within the group begins to dissipate, the zombies start to find ways inside -- and one by one, the living humans become the prey of the deceased ones.

This is very typical for a zombie genre movie that you have to use some kind of technological gadget in order to kill a zombie without anything else. The picture above is an obvious example as it shows that whatever is by the zombies ears, is clearly trying to destroy or de-program the zombie.

 

 

 

 

The dead are returning to life to feast on the flesh of the living. As civilization dissolves in this nightmare scenario, a group of college students travel across Pennsylvania in hopes of finding refuge at their friend's secluded mansion. Film student Jason (Joshua Close), tapes their journey, and the movie is presented as his footage.

This is a very typical image of a zombie movie because of the amount of blood spewed over the floor. Usually in zombie movies, blood is exaggerated.

 

In zombie movies, the protagonist is known to be wearing a stylish or well dressed outfit if not casual. This always sets the scene.

 

Based on the popular video game, Milla Jovovich and Michelle Rodriguez star as the leaders of a commando team who must break into "the hive," a vast underground genetics laboratory operated by the powerful Umbrella Corporation. There, a deadly virus has been unleashed, killing the lab's personnel and resurrecting them as the evil Un-dead. The team has just three hours to shut down the lab's supercomputer and close the facility before the virus threatens to overrun the Earth

This is conventional for a  zombie movie because the zombie is in a crawling stance and that is what zombies are notoriously famous for. This is to make them appear more dead I suppose.

 

Zombies usually roar to themselves for no apparent reason. This shows that they have no thought process therefore must be dead in the mind as well.

 

 

After a virus turns most people into zombies, the world's surviving humans remain locked in an ongoing battle against the hungry undead. Four survivors -- Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson) and his cohorts Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg), Wichita (Emma Stone) and Little Rock (Abigail Breslin) -- abide by a list of survival rules and zombie-killing strategies as they make their way toward a rumored safe haven in Los Angeles

This is typical because in any zombie movie, the zombies are usually barricading though something in order to kill.

 

 

This is a very common thing to happen because zombies have absolutely no form of self awareness, they don't know how to get out of the way of things that are going towards them.
