This film uses images from a well known movie: «The night of the living-dead», a cult horror movie. The cinema toys with our fascination by a realistic scene to which we can identify. The realistic representation of an impossible situation or action is very spectacular. It can be either spectacularly beautiful or spectacularly horrific. The second option is more unifying ; beauty remains more subjective. Thus a horror movie is especially spectacular and this one in particular, since it creates what we expect from the cinema: to revive the dead.
