Aj Zombies! relocates the zombie apocalypse genre from its usual Western settings to a South American backdrop, specifically Lima. This shift provides a localized perspective on global genre themes. The narrative employs an odd-couple dynamic to bring together diverse social archetypes, such as a security guard and a person struggling with alcohol use. This approach moves the story beyond typical survivalist clichés. However, the film seems primarily centered on romantic chemistry and survival. It does not delve deeply into identity politics or institutional critiques.
