to mind, the very first film director I could imagine is Rob Zombie. Rob Zombie holds some of the most intensely weird films you could think of. When I began watching cult films, I was reminded of Zombie and the way he has no shame in putting things out there that many would disapprove of.

will break, it is you who are the zombies." * Jean-Paul Sartre, Preface to The Wretched of the Earth * It is fitting that Sartre uses the zombie as a metaphor for both the colonized and colonizer. He states in the preface to Frantz Fanon’s The Wretched of the Earth that European colonizers had relegated natives living in colonial states to the role of zombie.

I opened the door slowly and carefully. “Justyce?” I whispered, “Are you in here?” About as soon as I said that a zombie tried to attack me. It was Justyce, a zombified Justyce.

One reason why I thought this was the theme was because if they didn’t get advice from Madison they would have turned into zombies.
