The current first paragraph of this article has nothing to do with the film it's supposed to be about. Instead, it describes an entirely different film.67.82.28.212 (talk) 10:31, 8 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, I would like to have some items clarified for this article. This film does not appear to be a British-American co-production, just that the film is based on a British novel. A film's nationality depends on the funding, which appears to be American here. Therefore we should avoid use of "British-American". Instead, I identified the root novel as British in the lead section. In addition, per the guidelines for lead sections, I put the most recognizable element upfront. Sometimes it is the director, sometimes the star(s), and sometimes the source material. In this case, it is the source material and not the director. As for the infobox, should UK elements be included since the film is only an American production (as far as I can tell)? Pinging MyNameIsASDF, TriiipleThreat, Dimadick.

Per WP:FILMRELEASE and WP:FILMDIST, we should restrict coverage in the infobox to the first release date and the countries of production. Since this is a US production, it should be limited to US info. I also believe that this concept should be applied to the lead section as well. Other significant releases can be covered in the release section.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 15:49, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
If no British company is actually involved, then this is not a British co-production. British source material, British setting and filming locations, and if necessary British personnel should be mentioned in the article, but not in the infobox. Dimadick (talk) 17:00, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
WP:FILMLEAD states, "the opening sentence should identify the title of the film, the year of its public release, and the primary genre or sub-genre under which it is verifiably classified." While this film crosses many genres its not the intent of Wikipedia to list them all in the opening sentence, as such we limit it the primary genre or sub-genre, which in this case is comedy horror. Other genres can be categorized at the bottom of article.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 17:11, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Year later this article still lists multiple genres "action comedy horror film" when it should only list the primary defining genre which is "zombie film". (The zombie genre is by definition a subgenre of horror.) -- 109.79.163.199 (talk) 17:32, 17 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
