Zombieland is a 2009 zombie movie starring Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, and Abigail Breslin. This is this is a zombie movie that takes place in America in the early 21st century after the zombie hordes have taken over and left very few survivors. Zombieland was a fun zombie movie to watch it sucks you in right from the beginning with the cool slow-motion intro and pulsing music, and it keeps you there until the end. Make no mistake this movie is a zombie comedy more than a zombie horror, but that does not mean there is not good special effects and lots of gore because there most certainly is.
By the end everybody’s can be a fan of zombie rules followed by Jesse Eisenberg’s character–Columbus, such as the ‘double-tap’, and ‘cardio’. Woody Harrelson’s character Tennessee, lives his life in zombieland in his never-ending search for a Twinkie. Tennessee has a penchant for killing zombies. And when Columbus and Tennessee’s paths cross the fun ensues as they traveled together in the search for things that they have lost. They are quickly outdone by Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin’s characters. Along the way, Bill Murray gets involved, some weed is smoked, and Columbus who swears not to be a hero as a rule, ends up being one.
The zombies are of the fast moving variety and said to have come about as a result of mad cow disease becoming mad human disease, and they excel at attacking you when you are at your most vulnerable – on the toilet.

Even though we never wish to get frightened, we all we all do love watching horror movies. Zombie movies are what viewers appreciate highly. They have all the ingredients that can make a viewer’s bone tickle. The sight of blood and rotten flesh is what you will find common in such genre of movies. A figure, which looks like a dead body and moves with great difficulty with a speed like that of a turtle, is how you will find a Zombie. These creatures are all the time looking for human flesh to eat and have specific words that they utter continuously after every few minutes. At one look, it seems that these zombies do not have a mind of their own. These imaginative figures have attracted people from all over the world.
The Zombie production became widely popular in 1968 after the release of the movie titled Night of the Living Dead. This was just the beginning of the popularity of this production and since then, it never looked back.
The zombie movie culture has been in existence since 1938. White Zombie Production was the first to release a movie of this genre and it was given the name, Dead Men Working in the Cane Field. It was based on a novel written by W. E. Seabrooks. This movie was to be released in the year 1934, but took a lot of time and finally got released 4 years later. The first zombie movie was produced and directed by the two brothers, Victor and Edward Halperin. (more…)
Who does not love watching a horror movie with a lot of dead characters moving from one place to another at the pace of a turtle? I surely love that sight. It not only gives you chills, but also can add the one thing that such movie needs: SCARY. White Zombie Productions were the first ones to come out with first of such movies and they were well-received by the movie-going public at large. Fans could not get enough of the zombie horror movie.
Since the release of ‘Dead Man Working in the Cane Field’, the production has never looked back. There has been a huge count of movies, which became a part of Zombie movie history, but few of them entered records for becoming the top grossed movies in such genre. Here are few of such zombie movies. (more…)
Zombies have been known all over the world as one of the most frightening horror movie characters. Zombies are those ugly looking characters in the movie, who have oddly coloured eyes and often feature bodies smeared in blood and gore. These characters are known not to speak a single word or a phrase throughout the entire movie, but instead moan, growl and make other unnerving noises. Some zombie movies have starred zombies with the ability to speak – often something about eating brains!
White Zombie Productions was the one, who took the onus of releasing the first feature movie in this genre. They set the zombie movie trend ever since. For the past 8 decades, there have been different types of zombies, which were introduced to scare and entertain their adoring audience.
The first on the list of the zombies are the Slow Dumb Zombies. They are taken to be very easy ones to be defeated, as they are very slow and do not do anything except walking here and there slowly. They just scare away people with their looks. To kill these types of zombies, one has to just hit them on their brain. (more…)
