Pros: Actually funnyGreat role by Harrelson
Cons: A tad too violent and bloody for some
Summary: It's hard to top one of the greatest horror comedies ever - Shaun of the Dead. Many have tried but failed miserably. Finally, a contender arose - Zombieland met my expenctations and, I can say, it's comparable in quality to Shaun. If it tops it, that ...

Pros: Hilarious script and performances.
Great action.
Jesse Eisenberg's narration and "rules to survive."
Great cameo.
Cons: Short, at only 88 minutes long.
Summary: Where do I begin. First of all, I went into this movie have low expectations. It is very hard to combine the zombie and comedy genres. "Shawn of the Dead" made a decent attempt, a few laughs here and there, but it doesn't come even close to what ...

Pros: writing, characters, humor, scenery, pace, music
Cons: a few "duh" moments, unnecessary cameo, not the best zombie makeup
Summary: ***Caution: Potential Spoilers***2009's Zombieland is this decade's prime candidate for inclusion into the zombie movie hall-of-fame. Although it was made about 4 or 5 years after this decade's major zombie revival, I think it brings an ...

Pros: very funny, great set pieces, with a lot of thought thrown in
Cons: It's hard to do a comedy-horror film.
Summary: This is my kind of zombie flick. Not since the remarkably-decent remake of Dawn of the Dead have I laughed so much at so much mayhem. Comedy-horror flicks are usually a bad bet. Bubba Hotep notwithstanding, the typical comedy-horror ...

Pros: very entertaining, mixes comedy & gore well
Cons: film's geography doesn't make sense, thin plot, no point other than zombie killing
Summary: What would you do if the entire planet was inhabited by flesh-eating zombies? Could you survive? I went into the theatre with the expectation to be completely grossed out. I completely expected the all the funny parts of the ...

Pros: Cameo appearance, active titles, some dialogue, Woody
Cons: Some dialogue, meandering pace, common sense
Summary: I, in all honesty, spend a lot of free time contemplating the possibilities of a zombie attack. I know that living next to Wal-Mart truly makes up for any dent it places on property value. While everyone else is in a traffic jam, I can casually ...

Pros: Casting, zombie film references, self-deprecating humor about past films
Cons: Short running time, needed one more big sequence, should've explored more of infected world
Summary: I love a good zombie movie. I'm a sucker for all things zombie. Ever since I saw George Romero's groundbreaking 1968 horror film Night of the Living Dead, I've devoured any kind of zombie fiction from the likes of Marvel zombifying their ...

Pros: Zombies! Woody Harrelson. Great Cameos! Action Humor.
Cons: Some may find the opening sequence a slight bit gory.
Summary: I enjoy horror films, and my favorite type of horror is based on civilizations eventual inevitable demise, the zombie apocalypse. Yes, one day the dead will rise up and eat us. In the beginning there was only George Romero who set the zombie ...

Pros: Funny, funny, and more funny, enticing characters, well written, just about everything else.
Cons: Practically nothing except for a brief humor drop-off towards the middle.
Summary: Why zombie apocalypse films have thrived for as long as they have could be called a mystery to some. I say “some” because I don’t call it a mystery. I have it nailed down to the steadfast conviction that deserted towns (ripe for the ...

Pros: Excellent script, fine comedic acting
Cons: A little overboard with the gory zombies
Summary: Although the trailers for this film were funny, I wasn't all that sure I wanted to see the movie. I love good horror films (although I don't care much for most slasher films anymore). However, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this ...
