While the film doesn't do leaps and bounds in its approach to bring something new to the genre, what it does do, it does it subtly, and it does it well. The zombie's learn to do new things, which makes sense as stated in Day of the Dead, even the most primitive of animals will learn to use tools. The film also points out something very disturbing, even when human beings need to work together, they can indeed work together, however it shows that even when working together human beings naturally create a divide, which is shown in this film by class. As a fan i loved it, the moment the leader of the zombies clashed eyes with the leader of the escaping humans, brilliant, in that moment is a realisation that both races zombie's and human's are only doing what is needed to survive and that there is nothing devious or malicious about how either party acts.
