Abstract
Research has investigated gender inequalities in film, finding that females comprised 30% of speaking parts (Smith, et al., 2014). Other research found a bias toward male characters in the zombie genre. This study investigates whether women in zombie films are portrayed as saviors while men are portrayed as killers.
