The key is to have human hearts. With human hearts, zombies are not zombies...

An absurd story that happened in an absurd context.

The genre of this film can no longer be simply divided into zombie films. You can think of the movie "Zombie Butler" as a sequel to "Zombie Shaun". In the movie "Zombie Shaun", zombies and people coexist peacefully. "Steward" goes a step further, zombies can already do some simple tasks.

The butler FIDO in the film is basically a person, and the men in the film are like walking dead. This is a strong irony.

If you replace the zombies in the movie with people of color, the film becomes an anti-racist movie. If you replace the concrete zombies with abstract ideas, you can’t help but reminiscent of the McCarthy era, with the scenes in the movie, It is the history of the United States from 194X to 196X.
