HF Recommends… Zombieland (2009) R
I was really torn because I almost picked House of the Devil . I know a lot of people didn’t love it, but I rather enjoyed that it did indeed look and feel like it came straight from the 80s. But, I have picked the US version of Shaun of Dead instead. Enjoy!
An easily spooked guy, Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg), joins forces with wild man Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson) to fight for survival in a world virtually taken over by freakish zombies. As they destroy scores of the undead, they meet up with two other survivors, Little Rock (Abigail Breslin) and Wichita (Emma Stone), and journey to a supposedly safe abandoned amusement park. Ruben Fleischer directs this horror romp.
