Animal Motif: Rather than the stiff shambling zombies of the book, the behavior of the zombies in the film is modeled after the behavior of real-life animals (with several shots of various animals in the opening credits just to drive the point home).Towards the end however, the Americans do start staging a large-scale retaliation, just as in the book. The Great Panic hits hard and leaves the US in utter disarray, the military scattered and its chain of command largely wiped out.

Adaptation Expansion: The story featured in the movie is an original one taking place in the same universe.The film also takes the 'driver ant' comparisons the characters in the book make to an extreme - the zombies here make similar body piles to get at elevated targets. Elements found in the survivor's tales can also be seen in the film, choosing to focus on a super-charged Great Panic instead. Adaptation Distillation: The film focuses on the plight of one man, Gerry Lane, instead of focusing on the accounts of other survivors.Karin also shows signs of it, responding to a zombie trying to climb into the vehicle by bull-kicking it in the face until it's knocked off.Justified in that his old job had him in war zones.

Everyone starts piling luggage in front of the curtain to stop the zombies from seeing them, only for a bag to fall through the curtain and give them away.
