Back to traditional zombies we're moving on to World War Z: Quarantine Cinema. Produced by and starring Brad Pitt, this big budget, box office hit is a fun, entertaining zombie flick.

I'll admit, I'm tickled that he's Doctor Who and W.H.O. Doctor.

With a budget of $190,000,000, the locations are unsurprisingly beautiful. It does pass the Bechdel test, and there is some diversity in the cast. That said, most characters get little screen time or development as the film is a Brad Pitt vehicle and he dominates. Luckily he's got the acting chops to pull it off.
