Zombieland


Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg) has made a habit of running from what scares him. Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson) doesn’t have fears. If he did, he’d kick their ever-living ass. In a world overrun by zombies, these two are perfectly evolved survivors. But now, they’re about to stare down the most terrifying prospect of all: each other.

'Zombieland' takes the spirit of the recent horror comedies such as 'Shaun of the Dead', and although not as funny nor as clever as this film is still good fun and original enough all the same.

Woody Harrelson steals the show, as the crazy lone Zombie killer. A performance which is by far the best we have seen from him in any film for years. 

The script is also lively and amusing, and a number of fun set pieces make the film worth the ride, including a great finally in a fairground.

All good fun in the end, and with a short running time you can't really go wrong with Zombie land and with the added bonus of one of the best cameos in years. Enjoy!
