Miss Zombie

In the peculiar horror-comedy Miss Zombie, released in 2013, audiences are drawn into a bizarre and unsettling scenario when a family living in isolation receives a most unusual package from an old friend—a female zombie encased in a wooden crate, along with strict instructions not to feed her meat. The film cleverly navigates the absurdity of the situation as the family grapples with their new houseguest, who, despite her undead status, exhibits a surprisingly docile demeanor. As they attempt to integrate her into their lives, the film explores themes of humanity and the boundaries between life and death, leading to both dark humor and poignant moments of reflection.

The characters are a compelling mix of ordinary and eccentric, each adding depth to the narrative. The family’s initial apprehension gradually gives way to an unexpected bond with the zombie, who becomes an unlikely helper in their daily chores and a catalyst for their personal transformations. As the story unfolds, the film delves into the ethical dilemmas surrounding care and compassion for those who are different, while also highlighting the absurdities of modern life. With a blend of horror elements and dry wit, Miss Zombie offers a fresh take on the zombie genre, inviting viewers to ponder the meaning of humanity in a world where the lines between the living and the undead blur.
