So I just got Zombieland from Netflix a few days ago. Yeah I know I am well behind on this one but all I can say is that this film is an instant classic and pure brilliance. While I had heard a really positive review from Scott Sigler, the modern day horror writer/podcaster himself, I didn't think it could compete with Shaun of the Dead on the comedic front. I was wrong. This film goes the extra mile in all respects. Rule #1 Cardio...
While the two movies share the same flair for comedy and both add the love interests element, the one thing that they don't share is the same version of zombie. Shaun of the Dead goes with the old school zombie 1.0 variety. The classic slow walking mummy type. Zombieland subscribes to the new and improved zombie 2.0 format, which can be summarized as a virus infected athletes late for breakfast. These are some blood spitting sprinters with their hearts set on you being their next meal.
