Go read the books Yes, books. There's a survival manual which is great fun too. They could have at least had the decency to call it something different. It really has around 0.005% anything to do with the book.
The main problem I had with it are the complete lack of psychological aspects you would feel within a zombie environment.
Replace all those slamming ragdoll zombies with millions of tigers and you have exactly the same effect. The whole point of the book was about the people and the creative ways they overcame their fear and despair, not about some dude who's supposed to be a relatively clever researcher, wasting resources jumping from place to place just to hear a bunch of people yammer on about what they "think" is the cause.
The zombies don't HAVE to be fast to be scary. They're endless, never tire, and with one purpose. Feed. That's enough to be scary.
The book had plenty of action, it just wasn't necessary to speed it up and add explosions to x300 to sear it into the audiences retinas.
Look at 28 days later, story line intercepted with bursts of action that kept you on your toes.
They ruined a good concept and tainted a good book.
