The best zombie film since Shaun of the Dead

Rating: 9/10 (1 November 2014)

Now this film will get a lot of comparisons to Shaun Of the Dead and I truly believe this film is just as good as that fantastic film was and is the new version of it. This film is based in a zombie apocalypse with Columbus a nerdy but efficient survivor as he goes on a road trip with 3 companions to survive. Now Jesse Eisenberg was great in his role and was perfect casting for the nerdy role, his monologues are great and his delivery of lines is superb. The supporting cast is also fantastic, Woody Harreldson plays his red neck ally and he is great with their chemistry being excellent and his presence being a great thing to see in this film. Also Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin were great as the sister companions and really provided a great dynamic in the film that truly helped. The chemistry between all these guys is superb and it really carries this film and is probably the main reason I love this film so much. The story is not the strong point of the film with it essentially being a road trip film that you will have seen before, however, they do such a good job of it you end up not really caring too much about how basic the story was. The script was superb with the dialogue being utterly superb and it was hilarious from the opening scene to the end scene. The style was great as well with the zombies looking cool and the last 20 mins of the film's style being so awesome and really being a great finale. Overall this is a fantastic film that really shows how good zombie films can be.
