Nosferatu by The 'Zog. My favourite coof movie despite predating the coof by many years. The first one is of course drawing from the Spanish Flu but I wonder how Werner was able to make something so evocative of the quarantine feel. I don't know if he lived through one or not before he made the movie. Eggman of course completely circumvented that strain of thematics despite being a couple of years removed from one because he is a voiceless dimwit whose films are all mere technical exercises.
>QOTD II
I don't believe that they became less popular after 9/11. Resident Evil 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, 28 Days Later, Terminator 3, Dawn of the Dead, War of the Worlds, Cloverfield, Planet of the Apes 1, 2, and 3, The Hunger Games, Snowpiercer, The Day After Tomorrow, Mad Max 4, A Quiet Place, 2012 etc. all became very popular with audiences and The Walking Dead was the biggest show on TV at one point. And of course the disaster movie genre long predates the 90s, with films like The Poseidon Adventure and The Towering Inferno being major examples. Maybe the late 90s had a specific kind of "earth blows up" approach to this type of film because asteroids became the latest pop science fad at the time, but I would not say that this type of film has ever stopped being popular.
And yes, the apocalypse movie popularity comes from the urge to quit your job and escape from your unfulfilling and shitty life. I doubt they'd be made in a society where white collar wageslaves didn't exist.
