The American flag in this still image represents the idea of
America vs the world. Everybody on the boat represents typical American people
but are not the usual survivors from a horror film. We have a blonde final girl
in ‘Anna’. A black guy- ‘Kenneth’, a young male- ‘Terry’ and a young girl- ‘Nicole’,
all of whom would usually be victims dying in the film. We also have the male
hero shooting himself in the head in this scene in order not to turn into a
zombie, a stereotypical example of how he’s sacrificed his life to save Ana.
Lots of horror movies also feature the American Flag as it is a common
addition, another example would be The Hills Have Eyes.
