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?

Hmm. Well if a zombie apocalypse takes too long it might be eradicated.

Wait; no, that’s bullshit. We just found out people around the world are just dumb or stubborn enough, especially in my country, to let a virus proliferate.

I dunno. The Last of Us did a good job. Some of my favorite parts were the flashbacks to when the fungus was first discovered. The dread of what was to come, the way the government handled things. It was interesting.
