Zombieland the Review
Ever known a person you can’t stand? Well you’re in luck, in Zombieland chances are they are a mindless zombie, and now you have an excuse to blow their brains out, “sorry, it’s for the best,” BANG! Now that was fun. The rest of the film continues in a similar fashion with Columbus who is a young geek who has a lot of phobias about almost everything from clowns, to bathrooms, to checking the back seat of cars but is a surprising survivor of the apocalypse who is driven by fear must return home to salvage whats left of his family.
You’d think this film is just another rendition of “Dawn of the Dead” but the writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick wanted to edge away from that stereotypical view that all zombie films are serious horrors made to scare the living daylights out of you. The story is driven by sheer the mixture of comedy and horror which works almost brilliantly.
