Why are there so few movies with the focus on the beginning of an apocalypse? (self.horrormovies)

Particularly zombie apocalypse, but also more generally as well. Many seem to be about post-apocalypse, but the chaos and confusion at the beginning seems like such a fruitful idea. Yet that’s so rarely done/done well as far as I know for zombie movie/shows, except for shows like Dead Set UK. Is it because of the budget, or that such shows/movies cannot be milked forever like TWD?

By “this”, do you mean the lack of media about the transition? So “The Stand” is just a rare example for books?

I love close examination of that transition, it’s usually anxiety inducing, ethic-questioning, rule-breaking that is really great to see. When the dust settles post-apocalypse, these things seem to be taken for granted.
