This still is one of the images we see in the opening credits, showing a mosque with people praying. The song played along with the opening credits is man comes around by Johnny Cash which represents a biblical apocalypse. The song along with this image connotes that the Americans have a suspicion that it was religion that caused the outbreak of the zombie virus. At the time this film was made in 2004, America was very wary about terrorism as of the recent 9/11 attacks and you can see this in the context of the film. This film also has a close link with swine flu, as swine flu was still a high concern in the early 2000’s and many viewers found this film scarier as, even though it is completely fictional, it had a realistic element about it.
