Zombieland should provide a horrifically funny good time!

Rating: 8/10 (19 October 2009)

In honor of this month being the one where Halloween is celebrated, I've dedicated most of these 31 days to watching horror, sci-fi, or comedies with elements of either or both. So it was in that spirit that I decided to watch this new hybrid with my movie theatre working friend who got us in for free. This is a funny, touching, intense, and sometimes scary good time with good performances all from Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Emma Stone, Abigail Breslin, several zombie extras, and a Famous Celebrity who gets quite a funny death scene. While the plot is nothing to take seriously, the characterizations are believable enough and sympathetic enough that one cares what happens to them. Nothing much else to say except if you don't mind the gore and other intensities, I highly recommend Zombieland.
