Zombieland (2009)

Starring: Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, Bill Murray

October has always been a good month for new horror films, due to increase in popularity of Halloween at the end of the month. If your a film fan and into your horror then this is going to be a good month for you!

There are some excellent new cinema releases coming out. The two biggest films are going to be ‘Saw VI’ and ‘Zombieland’. Zombieland has just topped the US box office and i fully expect that the same will happen in the UK.

This film is not your typical horror film. Its not so much about the scare factor, there’s plenty of comedy in here. Don’t get me wrong lots of horror splatter too. Its in the same sort of vein as George A. Romero’s work but with a new twist.

The main character is the very likeable Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson) who does an excellent job. He hasn’t always been in the biggest films but he usually pulls off a pretty reliable performance. In a post-apocalyptic America, overrun by Zombies he joins forces with a geeky kid, a chainsaw weilding girl and her little sister.

Its a very visceral film full and highly stylised. In other horror movie reviews i have read they are calling this film Zombie heaven. So that should give you an idea of enjoyment if you’re into films about the undead.

So what i’d suggest is check those local cinema listings and book yourself a seat! I’m sure this will be the first of many sequels, best to get on board now as this is certain to be one of the all time greatest horror comedy films.

Director: Ruben Fleischer
Writer: Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick
