The Neighbor Zombie is a localized, genre-focused production that prioritizes comedic tension and survivalist themes. It adheres to established norms rather than disrupting social frameworks. The film provides a South Korean perspective on the global zombie phenomenon, yet it remains culturally specific and ethnically homogeneous. It does not incorporate diverse casting or explore complex identity-driven narratives. Ultimately, the work lacks intentional subversion of gender hierarchies or the representation of underrepresented identities. It remains a standard genre piece focused on the immediate threat of a viral outbreak.
