The only Zombie movie that I thoroughly enjoy. From the beginning to the end. It didn't fall to the classic falls of comedies and horror films. No in depth explanation of how a virus created by some evil corporation affect the central nervous system and so on. No "and they live happily ever after..." or "...and unbeknownst to them..." ending. Oh and god, there's no messiah storyline either.
I get very irritated with the whole one man can change the future notion. And talking about messiahs, I get irritated with ThankYouJesusForMakingMeChangeMyDiapers Facebook status updates. They almost irritate me as much as InsafInsafLahJohan speeches. Yes, we get that you love Jesus very much but we don't care really if you're under His wings or up His nostrils or between His toes, now, do we? Why did I ever added them to my Facebook? And how about those friends who are dear to you but takes EVERY SINGLE quiz and post EVERY SINGLE results? My God, Facebook is contributing to my daily stress intake.
Back to the movie. Nerd dude, aptly so - doesn't overdo nor underplay the nerddom, is one of the last people in America who's not a zombie. Travels towards his home, met redneck dude, travel around and meet up two girls. There's no real storyline, really. Just a theme: Survive a post-apocalyptic zombie world.
Woody Harrelson and Jesse Eisenberg are great as their characters. I mean, who can still look like a bad ass while holding a banjo? The girls less so but still enjoyable. And the movie is filled with great quotes.
I mean:
"The fatties were the first to go."
"I'm not easy to get along with and I'm sensing that you're a bit of a bitch."
Or my personal favourite:
"Are you some type of cock blocking robot developed in some secret fucking government lab?"
Kudos, script writers.
In short, go watch this movie. Even if you hate zombie movies like I do. ESPECIALLY if you hate zombie movies like I do.
