Zombie Mutation primarily operates within established horror conventions. By centering underrepresented social classes such as junkies and strippers, it disrupts traditional narratives. While the film explores systemic neglect and social decay, it lacks intentional complexity in addressing diverse identities or nuanced power dynamics.
