Refreshingly Revamps the Zombie-Horror Genre

Rating: 7/10 (8 May 2019)

Carrying all the hallmarks of the great zombie movies of George Romero, Zombieland breathes new life into a tired and diluted genre with its refreshingly sardonic wit and reverses the common horror trend of rooting for the monsters with its genuine and likeable cast. The gore and gristle are unapologetically grim but balanced well against its more heartfelt themes of family and unity in the face of crisis, while its cleverly utilised soundtrack helps build intense and enjoyable scenes of action which weaker films of its genre sorely lack.
