Flesh of the Living operates as a typical genre piece, prioritizing visceral spectacle and the mechanics of a zombie outbreak over social commentary. The narrative structure relies on established horror clichés, focusing on radiation, gore, and government responses to a global catastrophe. The film adheres to conventional storytelling patterns prevalent in the early 2010s. It lacks intentional characters who reflect more than one aspect of diversity, instead centering on traditional institutional hierarchies and survivalist archetypes. Ultimately, the work functions as a traditionalist survival horror film, depicting a biological threat rather than deconstructing social hierarchies or exploring diverse identities.

Official Synopsis
A monstrous solar storm causes the Earth to be bombarded with high levels of radiation. The dead begin to return. They are carnivorous, oozing, blood-thirsty, flesh eating zombies. The story is told through the eyes of survivors, news special reports, and government agents fighting to save humanity at any cost. Zombies roam the countryside and the city streets eating anyone in their path. The president calls for the nation to not panic at the growing crisis. These are stories from a gore drenched, blood covered zombie apocalypse.
