World War Z
Life for former United Nations investigator Gerry Lane and his family seems content. Suddenly, the world is plagued by a mysterious infection turning whole human populations into rampaging mindless zombies. After barely escaping the chaos, Lane is persuaded to go on a mission to investigate this disease. What follows is a perilous trek around the world where Lane must brave horrific dangers and long odds to find answers before human civilization falls.
World War Z centers on a global zombie outbreak and the attendant fear, survival dread, and horrific threats, but it is primarily presented as an action/disaster thriller. Remove horror elements and the core experience would shift away from its zombie-centric fear-driven identity.
Best for viewers looking for a scary horror movie.
