    It wasn’t even that it was a generic zombie movie, it was a particularly shit zombie movie.

        Didn’t read the books and can’t remember much of the movie but one thing.

        The way the zombies moved as a fluid.

        That was the best depiction of horde behavior I have seen. The thought that they climb over obstacles by climbing over each other was brilliant and scary.

          The zombie ant hills are burned into my mind as well. So fucked up and terrifying.

        I only read the book afterwards. Leaving the theater I thought, “Wow, what a shit zombie movie, what’s with the zombie tower. Anyways I want ice cream.”

        After reading the book I thought, “Wow, this makes the movie seem even worse than I thought, adapting this would’ve been way better. They didn’t even follow the same in-universe rules!”

            Nah, the book is great, definitely one the best zombie fictions out there. It even spawned a pretty great fan fiction that addressed one of the hanging plot threads.

            I didn’t buy everything from it but it’s best to just consider them as separate properties and judge them on their own merits.
