Humor is hard. Death is easy. That would explain why comedy movies have fallen out of favor in the last decade while horror is still as hot as ever. It also explains the endless appeal of 2009 Zombielandis back on Netflix.

The horror comic decided to get in on the joke by acknowledging the stupidity of zombie movies right off the bat with Rules of Survival The Zombie Apocalypse. It’s offbeat, it’s weird, and nearly 20 years later, it’s still one of the best horror comedies of all time.

How to Survive Zombieland

Zombieland it ends up focusing on a group of four survivors, known only by their hometowns to avoid involvement: Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg), Tallahasse (Woody Harrelson), Wichita (Emma Stone), and Little Rock (Abigail Breslin). The group crosses the US, first going to Columbus, but when they hear that it’s over, the boys agree to go with their sisters to Los Angeles and Pacific Playland. Zombie survival movies don’t need high prices; they need people. Giving Little Rock a sense of normalcy in the face of the end of the world is enough.

Columbus made sure to share his rules for living on the trail and point out examples of where other survivors didn’t follow them. If that sounds like you and your friends while watching Dawn of the Dead rearrange, 28 days laterany serious zombie movie, then you know why it’s so refreshing to see a movie go into horror fun. Zombieland includes its fair share of dumb decisions, but often blinks and in one instance, with the greatest cameo in movie history.

Zombieland Was So Good They Do It Again

When it was released in 2009, Zombieland it was the most successful zombie film in history with a worldwide take of $102 million. If that seems low, it is, but like most horror movies, the production budget was only $25 million, and it did gangbusters on DVD. The sequel, which came out ten years later in 2019, Zombieland: Double tap, it was successful and succeeded in expanding the world with new survivors, new zombies, and a monster truck.

Director Ruben Fleischer must have enjoyed working with the cast as he kept bringing them back in his other films. He worked with Emma Stone again Gangster groupJesse Eisenberg in 30 minutes or less, Woody Harrelson Venom: Let There Be Carnage (Fleischer directed the first, produced the second), and both Eisenberg and Harrelson in Now You See Me: Now You Don’t See Me. Recently, he has been talking about a third Zombieland movie.

For those who are curious, they can go to Pacific Playland, actually, Wild Adventures in Valdosta, Georgia, which includes rides that are not featured. Zombielandwhich includes an inverted hangman coaster and Boomerang, a simple ride that sends you upside down and forward, then winds up and back. For everyone, it’s always a good time to give the original a watch and wonder why Hollywood has stopped being able to produce anything this familiar and funny since then.
