Kanedas Bike Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 (edited) Just got back from a matinee - so did anyone else see this? I thought it was pretty damn good, just a little short with a running time of about 80 minutes. . The characters were great the story fairly interesting and IMHO fairly well acted (especially Woody Harrelson). The movie was even kind enough to include a quick and dirty origin of all the zombies... Zombieland on Yahoo! Movies Zombieland on IMDB Double-Tap! -b. *oops! - didn't notice the poor spelling on the title - instant/instand Edited October 4, 2009 by Kanedas Bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanedas Bike Posted October 4, 2009 Author Share Posted October 4, 2009 it was decent, had a good time. Indeed - it was really a comedy with a horror twist (especially with the cameo towards the middle/end of the movie). -b. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buffalostyle Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Good stuff...my friends and I tend to catch any and all zombie movies. I prefer comedy/zombie movie like "Shawn of the Dead" so I knew that I would like this flick. Add in Woody Harrelson, and I was sold from the beginning. It's been a pretty good movie year for me....

Max Jenius Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Isn't it just some hick killing zombies with a geek, an edgy-cool chick & some wee lass? I figured the trailer pretty much summed it up. Am I wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Isn't it just some hick killing zombies with a geek, an edgy-cool chick & some wee lass? I figured the trailer pretty much summed it up. Am I wrong? Kinda. You got the characters right, the running gags make it, so if you don't like those you might not want to watch. It's pretty gory for most zombie movies unlike Shawn. Rabid-type movies. I did the 5-buck weekday deal, I don't think I would have paid 10 bucks for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Jenius Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 hmm, I may check it out. Just seemed like Hot Topic made a movie or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanedas Bike Posted October 12, 2009 Author Share Posted October 12, 2009 You should - I still think the movie was on the short side with regards to running time, but it was really well done and one of the better "zombie" (given this was more comedy than horror) movies to come out in recent years. And stay limber. -b. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyPenguins Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 (edited) Good movie, made me want to play Left 4 Dead again. lol, same here! I'm also anxious for Left 4 Dead 2 also not sure if this is true but my boyfriend said that in L4d2 there's a theme park level? if so that should be fun.

Beltane70 Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I see I'm not alone in the feeling like playing "Left 4 Dead" after seeing "Zombieland"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one_klump Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Loved the movie, right up there were Shaun of the Dead. Maybe best American zombie movie ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharky Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 I enjoyed it, and thought it was well made and funny. The whole "rules" thing reminds me of the book The Zombie Survival Guide. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Zombie_Survival_Guide I wonder if the book is what inspired the movie, or at least the zombie rules aspect of it. I have flipped through the book in the bookstore and have been meaning to pick up one of these days. Looks like a fun read. I have only recently gotten into zombie movies. Zombieland was the first one I actually went to the theater to see. Besides the classic Night of the Living Dead, the first modern zombie movie I ever saw was 28 Day Later when it went to the discount DVD section at Walmart. It made me interested in zombie movies, but it seems like 28 Days is an exception rather than the rule. Sounds like I need to rent Shawn of the Dead. Seems like it will be fun to watch.

That book has Romero-style slow zombies, and required headshots. Though the zombie line has had a good decade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
