From the looks of it, make sure to carry a bat at all times. OR be able to drop a piano on an unsuspecting zombie’s head at any given moment. Zombieland, the action-horror-comedy about a group of people trying their best to stay ahead of a world gone zombie, opens in theaters Oct. 9 and stars Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin. Here’s the rather humorous and macabre-looking trailer, courtesy of Apple.
I’ve never been a huge horror fan, as far as Friday the 13th slashers or Hostel torture films go. But I dig the zombies movies. Maybe it’s that mass-pop-gone-mad mentality that gets me. Now while I don’t think I’ve seen the original George Romero Night of the Living Dead and his follow-up Dawn of the Dead all the way through, I did love the Dawn remake, as well as 28 Days Later, 28 Weeks Later and of course, Shaun of the Dead.
Zombieland also seems like it’s leaning more towards the latter, with the whole tongue-in-cheek thing. Count me in.
