One man then appears to try to stomp on her head and neck. After it was over, the would-be protester, Lauren Valle, told the TV news crew she was shaken and sore, but fine. Set loose by West African and Caribbean voodoo traditions and later revivified as a Cold War-era, counterculture metaphor by George Romero’s campy “Night of the Living Dead” in 1968, zombies have proven themselves immune to the whims of monster trends and fads.
There’s Jane Austen’s Elizabeth Bennet with decomposed flesh falling off her chin on the cover of the best-selling “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.” There’s always a Facebook invite to yet another event where people dress up as zombies and slowly amble along the streets or shopping plazas.Just look around at all the zombies. Everywhere. Mobs lined up outside the Apple Store, groaning with the desire to devour Steve Jobs’s braiiiin. The moans coming from town hall meetings and campaign stops; the stench left in the “comments” field of online articles; the shrieks and cries coming from cable news networks.
I will say upfront that I generally felt the same way about the Kirkman comics. Though I’m not a devout zombie fan overall, I enjoyed the first few collections, then started to find it monotonous and depressing and stopped. British actor Andrew Lincoln is our lead as small-town Kentucky cop Rick Grimes, who’s wounded in the line of duty, goes into a coma and wakes up weeks later to find a world overtaken by zombies, with only small pockets of frightened and angry humans trying to stay alive without getting bitten by the “walkers.”
Lincoln’s quite good in that mode, and a solid hero once Rick links up with a group of survivors on the outskirts of Atlanta. Darabont knows when a moment needs to be goosed and when he simply needs to hang back and let us share Rick’s view of this terrifying landscape, full of empty cars, decaying corpses and, of course, many, many, many zombies.
It’s wonderfully creepy, and then Darabont turns on the pathos as Rick makes the acquaintance of Morgan Jones (guest star Lennie James of “Jericho” fame) and his son Duane (Adrian Kali Turner), who have suffered a horrible, seemingly unending tragedy as part of this zombie apocalypse. That subplot’s pretty much beat-for-beat from Kirkman, and it plays out beautifully. (Though James does upstage Lincoln in the process.)Many of the zombie encounters in the pilot are one-on-one, as the focus is less on action than on conveying a feeling of loss. Rick fell asleep in one world and woke up in another. But it’s also possible that there’s a reason there’s never been a zombie TV series before that goes beyond the technical difficulties of pulling it off. Maybe the zombie apocalypse is a horror that’s better off in brief glimpses than as a story with no end in sight.
