Zombieland Review:

Zombieland

Zombieland is a creative and hilarious movie that keeps you laughing throughout the entire duration. The movie does a great job of blending comedy with horror, but unlike some films such as “Jennifer’s Body” it gives you a clear understanding that it’s a comedy with horror elements, while “Jennifer’s Body” couldn’t decide which genre it was. The film feels a lot like past zombie comedy/horror movies such as “Shaun of the Dead”,but has enough ideas and comedic elements to help it standout. As far as plot the movie tells the tale of Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg) who is a paranoid teen who and bases his survival tactics on a list of rules that are explained throughout the film. Throughout the film Columbus meets different characters such as Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson) who is one of the brighter points in the film due to his hilarious portrayal of the character. He also meets Wichita and Little Rock (Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin) whose personalities are interesting due to their motives and goals. Each character has their own distinct personalities and skills that help them overcome the obstacles that range form a zombie horde to zombie clowns. The films pacing is flawless and it never leaves you bored or uninterested. The Characters are all well portrayed and the overall plot keeps you entertained. Overall Zombieland offers up plenty of laughs and gore that will keep both horror fans and comedy fans entertained. Although the film does lose some of its humor towards the end compared to the beginning it is still a movie worth seeing.

A well deserved
