10 Terrible Movies That Tricked Us With Awesome Posters
4. World War Z
What The Poster Promised Us: A new, even more terrifying breed of zombie. These aren’t the shambling, shuffling zombies of George A. Romero and Walking Dead lore but living dead fast enough, coordinated enough and hangry enough to form a massive zombie Jenga tower tall enough to take down an airborne helicopter. Brad Pitt is f**ked but this movie might actually do Max Brooks’ brilliant book justice.
What We Actually Got: A non-stop assault on the senses which wouldn’t have been so bad if it weren’t for the fact it ignored the book’s more introspective moments and was teamed with human characters whose survival we don’t really care about, a surprising lack of gore for a zombie apocalypse film and an anticlimactic ending.
Even with David Fincher confirmed as director, we’re not particularly looking forward to the upcoming World War Z sequel … if they ever get around to actually making it, that is.
