Editor's note: This review may contain spoilers. (EW.com) -- Just about every zombie movie I can think of is set, for the most part, in tightly defined spaces where groups of survivors huddle to fend off the flesh-hungry hordes outside. "World War Z," which may be the most entertaining and accomplished zombie thriller since George A. Romero's "Dawn of the Dead" (1979), has touches of that suspenseful high-tension claustrophobia. Yet it's a very different sort of zombie feast (far more than, say, "The Walking Dead"). It's vast and sprawling and spectacular; it's the first truly globalized orgy of the undead.

'World War Z' is 'scary good fun'
Yet this is a much more varied and surprising movie, built around a soberly commanding performance by @placeholder as the family man who must leave his wife and daughters on a U.N. command ship as he hops from one trouble spot to the next.
