I, Zombie: The Chronicles of Pain is a character-driven horror piece that prioritizes existential dread over demographic breadth. It uses the zombie metamorphosis to explore themes of bodily autonomy and the breakdown of social contracts. The film delves into the deconstruction of traditional ethical structures. However, it lacks significant characters who reflect more than one aspect of diversity, remaining largely within conventional casting frameworks. Ultimately, the work functions as a study of isolation and moral ambiguity rather than a vehicle for diverse social representation.
