When you think of zombies, it’s easy to imagine the slow-walking kind in shows like “The Walking Dead” and movies like “Night of the Living Dead.” Even though they can still be gory, they often lose a sense of tension because they’re relatively easy to outrun. “World War Z,” on the other hand, strays from that and features hundreds of infected who can sprint and climb walls.
Based on the 2006 bestselling horror-apocalypse novel, the film essentially takes the book’s title and discards almost everything else, but still makes for a gripping watch for genre fans.
