Move over Scary movie, there's a new horror comedy in town

Rating: 10/10 (17 January 2010)

Zombieland is probably the best horror comedy I have seen since the first Scary Movie. Shaun of the Dead was good but for some reason or another I never thought of it as being a classic unlike some others, but I feel it might become a cult favourite in a few years. And yet, I feel the same way about Zombieland. I have seen this movie on it's opening weekend, but I just haven't had the time to review it. The laughs just kept coming and coming and I'll admit I jumped maybe twice throughout the movie, but as far as I'm concerned this movie is more focused on laughs than scares. The acting is good, especially for Woody Harrelson as Tallahasse. That zombie-killing redneck is my favourite character of the whole bunch thanks to Harrelson's portrayal of him. Of course Jesse Eisenberg's Columbus should not be forgotten as well: The opening sequence with him and his rules marked me and my friends for a long time and his character was very truthful. Wichita (Emma Stone) and Little Rock (Abigail Breslin) were also very convincing as a group of sisters who hijack, trick people into giving them money and more bad stuff. Honestly I can't believe that the Golden Globes rejected this movie because honestly both movies were good but I think I laughed more in Zombieland than in Hangover. You should see this movie!
