About Zombieland

Columbus has made a habit of running from what scares him. Tallahassee 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.

Our take on Zombieland

Ruben Fleischer's 2009 horror comedy pairs the timid, rule-obsessed Columbus with the fearless Tallahassee as two unlikely survivors navigating a world overrun by zombies. Their opposite temperaments drive the humor as much as the carnage, until the film's biggest challenge turns out to be trusting each other. Fast, gory and glib in equal measure, it favors banter and character quirks over genuine dread, so it suits viewers who want their apocalypse played for laughs. If you like horror comedies that treat the undead as a backdrop for buddy-movie chemistry and inventive kills, Zombieland is brisk, cheeky and easy to enjoy without demanding much.
