Zombieland (2009)

The Americans do 28 Days Later as a road trip and, as you would expect, it’s not as good as the original (or even other zombie movies).

A virus has decimated America turning people into rampaging Zombies. Jesse Eisenberg (Cursed) has survived, thanks to a few basic rules of his own invention, and he is making his way across the country looking for his parents. Along the way he hooks up with Woody Harrelson (Natural Born Killers), Emma Stone (The House Bunny, The Rocker), and Abigail Breslin (Signs).

Zombieland starts promisingly with Eisenberg’s amusing narration, the manic zombie killing of Harrelson, and the con artistry of the two girls. When the four survivors reach Hollywood, the film slows down to the point of redundancy and not even the video game style slaughter at the end can bring the film back from the realms of boredom. An awkward cameo by Bill Murray does little to raise the interest level.
