More Funny Than Horror

Rating: 6/10 (12 March 2010)

Have we been so jaded already by the preponderance of these types of films? I do not even think we even flinch anymore when we watch "Zombieland" or similar types. Zombie films are the perfect excuse to do mindless violence to human bodies without them being objectionable to watch. Zombieland is another one of such blood and gore extravaganza.
You have to inject something new into the formula to make it stand out among its sub-genre. "Dead Snow" was unique in its snowy locale and Nazi zombies. "Zombieland" will have to thank Woody Harrelson's reckless performance as Tallahassee as its trump card. Woody is known for crazy roles before, but he is quite the star in this movie because of his natural and effective devil-may-care performance.
"Zombieland" also has a hidden gem in its middle section with a surprise star cameo by a celebrity whose gates carry the initials of "BM". That part of the film is also really hilarious and quite memorable.
Overall it is a funny zombie movie. It lists some interesting rules about how to survive zombies. It has a romance in there somewhere. Best of all, it is short and direct to the point. Zombie movie fans will surely enjoy it.
