What critics compared Panic in the Streets to
Though obviously indebted to Night of the Living Dead and the vast library of zombie literature, Pitt’s World War Z shares more with movies about epidemics, from the 1938 Yellow Jack (yellow fever) through Panic in the Streets, La Jetée (and the Terry Gilliam remake 12 Monkeys), The Birds, The Andromeda Strain, Children of Men, The Happening and Contagion.
