In the new up and coming genre of horror-comedy, "Zombieland" sets the bar high for future flicks.
When the Earth is taken over by zombies, four completely different people find each other and help one another fight to stay alive. In order not to get too close to one another, they use hometowns as their names. Theres Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson), a cowboy ready to kick zombie-butt if they get into his way; Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg), a paranoid loner who lives by a set of self made rules, and the sisters Wichita (Emma Stone) and Little Rock (Abigail Breslin) who are only concerned for watching each others backs. The audience follows the group on a wildly hilarious road trip to California.
Going into this movie, I had my doubts. Comedic zombie movies have been done before. For example, "Shaun of the Dead" did the same type of movie in 2004. But "Zombieland" takes it in a whole other direction...American style. It's got Hummers, Twinkies, and Bill Murray. What else could you ask for?
If your too spooked to see a real horror movie like "Saw VI" this Halloween season, go see the funnier alternative "Zombieland."
Overall Grade: A-
