> there aren't any real similarities between the book and the movie; they're two separate zombie stories with the same name

Funny - this is also a good description of I Am Legend.

And similarly, I, Robot, which is much more enjoyable when you realize it started as an independent murder-mystery screenplay that had Asimov’s works shoehorned in when both rights were bought in quick succession. I love both the movie and the collection of short stories, for vastly different reasons.

Will Smith, a strange commonality in this tiny subgenre.
