Watched yet another zombie movie of the more serious and pretentious kind... World War Z. Still, the only movie about infections that make victims aggressive and contagious that I have seen that approached any scientific plausibility or at least was not completely implausible was Warning Sign, forgotten and from 1985, not very good but realistic enough not to turn off a kid interested in science. The bacteria was a very well thought-out biological weapon that caused rabies-like symptoms and killed the patient after two days or so, a virulent but hard to transmit pathogen spliced into normal staphylococci, thus they got transmission by contact with infected persons or surfaces. Incubation period was at least several hours, the outbreak was caused by a trivial accident with a sample, and decontamination protocols foiled by... contact lenses! Victims did not die, just went through catatonia first, they were aggressive but not supermen, died of gunshot wounds like humans.
