Zombieland is a horror comedy based on, you guessed it, zombies! And with that entails everything else within the zombie package: survival, courage, guts, balls and braaaaiiiiinnsssss, all of which our main survivor cast has none of.

Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg) is a ‘never-kissed-a-girl’ type school boy who has a unique cowardly personality that has brought him to follow a strict set of rules that he fully abides by, which in turn aids him in surviving against the zombie invasion.

On the flip side, our other main survivor is Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson), who demolishes zombies without any signs of hesitation and teams up with Columbus to survive against the impending zombie apocalypse.

Zombieland also stars  Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin who all play the main survivors in this film.

Now personally I am a HUGE fan of zombies; there’s nothing I’d like more than to be in a huge, fully equipped mall packed full of zombies surviving while annihilating mass amounts of zombies.

Having said this, zombie films have an immense tendency to prove some what… average… monotonous and just overplayed to be honest.

So when I finished watching this trailer I wasn’t too amped up. I mean I was definitely excited about the concept of mass zombie killing, however from the trailer and synopsis I felt that Zombieland was missing (like most other zombie movies) a substantial plot with quality.

So far the best zombie oriented films I have seen are 28 Days Later and Rec. Both of which sent chills down my spine, so when I read that Zombieland was a comedy/horror, least to say I was slightly reluctant as to how good a film this was actually going to be.

However after Zombieland’s release I had noticed a considerable amount of attention drawn to this film, most of which turned out positive. Zombieland grossed more than $60.8 million in 17 days, becoming the top-grossing zombie film in history, surpassing the Dawn of the Dead remake – interesting.

So what is so good about this particular zombie flick I ask…

I made my way to IMDb and behold an almighty 8.2 Rating, making it #185 on IMDb’s Top 250 Films of all time! Stunning!

Due to this very intriguing score, I have decided to remove my initial and very average Film Buzz Anticipation score of 5.5/10 and I now officially give it an anticipation score of *drum roll* - 7.5/10
