DOTD (2004) image analysis 3


 
 
This is one of the final shots of the movie with Ana sailing away with the remaining survivors to safety.

The fact Ana is blonde is very unusual for a horror movie’s “final girl” for the blonde generally will be the female victim. However in this film she survives on the boat. One of the reason she is the “final girl” is she has her hair tied back, instead of hanging down like Monica’s hair style.

Also in the shot is an American flag which connotes patriotism and connate to the zeitgeist of 2004 and the importance of being proud of your country.

This seem to be an open ending with a majority of the survivor escaping although zombies are still around but they are saved however this is a red herring as the credit roll the shot show them all
