31 Days 31 Picks -World War Z TRAILER 2 (2013)



It's that time of the year again when the weather begins to cool, the leaves begin to change color and fall to the ground. And when we get to  this time of the year our minds start to wonder. Not about gum drops and sugar plus or even that of Santa Claus, no, we start to think about what lurks in the ever growing, ever lasting, darkness.

Yes it's that time of the year when the spooks come out and play havoc with out sanity.

And yes it's that time of the year for our annual 31 Days 31 Picks. 31 horror flicks to make you think about what lies just outside the door; inside the closet; under the bed.

This year we kick off the Halloween season with "World War Z".

I was originally looking forward to this big budget action zombie yarn, having read the book I was curious to see how they did it. (Don't worry fans of the book, other than the name it's a completely different story) But then the stories came out about it being WAY over budget and problems on the set and all the script rewrites. Then I heard that the third act was a disaster.

Some how Brad Pitt soldiered through, bringing in yet another new writer just to rewrite the ending, and, boy, am I glad they did. The new ending --the one in the film-- works FAR better than the one I had read about. And in the end "World War Z" is a half way descent zombie flick in a market that is saturated with zombies. Not great, but well worth a watch.
