To survive in this land you must follow the rules!!!

Rating: 9/10 (9 October 2009)

First off, is it just me or of all the genres in horror is the zombie movie the one that makes the best comedy. Not only do you have this gem you also have "Shaun of Dead", "Dead Alive", "Return of the Living Dead" one and two, "Reanimator", "The Undead", and many more. This one is a nice little zombie comedy that is more comedy than horror by leaps and bounds as there are lots of scenes where the zombies are not seen for long stretches. Almost all the zombie munching comes right at the beginning of the film as the lead guy code named Columbus goes over the rules that have kept him alive so far and shows what happens to those who do not follow them. Then the next stretch where there is a lot of zombie action is the end which is still not quite horror, but is tense enough at times to make for a good action sequence with still just a little touch of comedy to make it perfect. The film basically follows this young man as he meets another calling himself "Tallahasee" as everyone they meet go by where they are from rather than their name. They are just trying to survive, perhaps with destinations on their mind or perhaps nothing more than trying to find a Twinkie. The story is simple, but very effective, be prepared for a very funny cameo appearance. The acting is great, but then I always enjoyed seeing Woody Harrelson from his Cheers days so it was nice seeing him in this role. The other cast members are great too. The film does not over stay its welcome, nor does it run time feel to short. Great movie, good gore effects and very funny comedy, why oh why do zombies make me laugh so?
