This film is a horror film and follows the trends of previous zombie movies showing the survivors doing what they do worst and trying to survive, the zombies and following a recent trend where instead of slow moving zombies they sprint.

Horror films deal with the viewer's nightmares, hidden worst fears, revulsions and terror of the unknown. Although a good deal of it is about the supernatural, if some films contain a plot about morbidity, serial killers, a disease/virus outbreak and surrealism, they may be termed "horror".
Plots written within the horror genre often involve the intrusion of an evil force, event, or personage, commonly of supernatural origin, into the everyday world. Themes or elements often prevalent in typical horror films include ghosts, torture, gore, werewolves, ancient curses, satanism, demons, vicious animals, vampires, cannibals, hauntedhouses, zombies and serial killers. Conversely, stories of the supernatural are not necessarily always a horror movie as well.
