World War Z (2013)
Once you get over the fact that this is a largely gore free zombie film, Marc Forster's movie is actually very good. Brad Pitt stars as a former UN something or other forced to the far corners of the world (Well, South Korea, Jerusalem and Cardiff) in an attempt to find the cause of what appears to be a zombie pandemic that's changing the worlds population into swarms of the undead.
What it lacks in blood and guts it makes up for in thrills and spills with some brilliantly tension packed sequences not to mention the scale of the film which is epic, especially masses of the undead scaling the walled city of Jerusalem like hordes of ants.
As far as zombie films go it's kinda light weight but never the less some of it is genuinely jaw dropping in it's execution.
Finally, it always cracks me up that Peter Capaldi's doctor is credited as W.H.O. Doctor in the end titles.
