I'm a sucker for Zombie films, who isn't. The Noughties saw an absolute explosion of movies featuring the undead, Dawn of the Dead, Shaun of the Dead. Diary of the Dead, Land of the Dead, 28 Days Later. 28 Weeks Later, hey I even liked the Resident Evil films (well the first two anyways).
The accolade of the highest grossing Zombie film of all time though goes to Zombieland, a light hearted excursion to the end of the world which happens to be funny, fast paced and surprisingly savvy. Eschewing any real scares and making full impact of the gore on show, Zombieland introduces the audience to characters who are actually likable (not always the case in Zombie flicks) and because of this we don't want to see them get eaten (usually the case in Zombie flicks).
A great cast seem to be having a lot of fun and (although I'm sure it won't be the case) make the Zombie apocalypse seem a good place to be.
Witty, fresh and ever so slightly bonkers, bring on the sequel.
