Somebody’s zombie-loving dreams came true. Somewhere out there, a writer so in love with the zombie genre just had a wet dream. Someone beat Left 4 Dead one too many times, got bored, wrote a movie, and it’s called Zombieland. And it’s fuuuuuuun. I doubt everyone’s zombie fantasies can be fulfilled in one film, but this comes close. While it will be compared greatly to Shaun of the Dead, it shouldn’t be. It has its own quick-paced pseudo-grindhouse style that it sets up at the beginning of its short runtime and doesn’t stop with the action or the laughs until the credits roll… and not even then (if you’re someone who stays for all of the credits.) While there is just a hint of something missing to make this film ‘amazing’, it doesn’t leave you time to really consider it because you’ll be too busy cheering the fun zombie killing or laughing your ass off. The entire cast is perfect, and I think this is partly due to them all feeling like they are miscast… two wrongs making a right. You’re not likely to find better entertainment this Halloween.
