I find myself wothendering if you object to the whole zombie movie genre?
Depends on the depth (and breadth) of the narrative I suppose. I sincerely don't mean this as a cop-out. Institutions like the Mexican "Day of nthe Dead" parade really delve deeply into "absent friends and family" side of live. Some movies do that as well (even sometimes those with a great deal of humour in them).
The more I think about this the more it really was a question of "what's the point?". If the point was to say "hey, some people in the world really do look like this and it's their means of deriving an income" or "we are your friends and family post-nuclear/biochemical etc war" or "Honour those who have passed away" I probably would have been very enthusiastic about the event.
