Especially since the creative genius of zombie master George A Romero, the popularity of post-apocalyptic horror films has exacerbated intensely and has spawned its own cult fan base, with films ranging from zombies, chemical explosions and simply the end of the world as we know it. Whether you're a fan of zombie flicks, natural disaster films or simply barbaric anarchist fantasy films, you'll undoubtedly have a favourite apocalyptic horror film.
Perhaps what is so appealing about the genre is that it allows for horror to be made into a hybrid with science fiction, action, drama, etc. With films such as I Am Legend and Zombieland, there have been perfect opportunities to mix horror with drama and comedy, which not only freshens the selection of films, but brings in a broader audience. Who doesn't like laughing at a horror film every now and then or having a realistic portrayal of pain and anguish in a desolate wasteland?
