Again, intel ops always have more than one objective.
Obscure and condition.
The delay in releasing the film served to heighten anticipation, which is to say condition the audience to embrace rather than question the product when it finally was sent to market.
Excellent point about post-Z-film directors' decisions vis a vis violence. What likely was intended to shock ended up having just the opposite effect.

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.
