I just watched Zombieland last night, and I have to say that I was thoroughly impressed. It’s not really that hard to do since I already have a disturbing love for the undead hordes (I even sleep with a zombie plush doll). However, this passion also makes me very particular about what kind of Zombie themes I enjoy. The good thing about Zombieland in my opinion, is that they don’t focus on the Zombies. Let’s face it, the Zombies aren’t ever the subject matter in Zombie films, so why do we always fixate on how everyone became Zombies? It was nice to just accept that these people became Zombies and now I’m watching a funny movie about people living in a land of undead creatures.
One of the other things I really enjoyed about this movie was that they left it open for a whole series of “Zombedies” (Zombie Comedies) as I like to call them. Not only for movies now. I hope that we get flooded with awesome Zombie games that can now compete with things like Left 4 Dead or Resident Evil (they aren’t really Zombies). I want to see games with 10+ hours of game play that’s similar to Nazi Zombies from Call of Duty – World at War. I would be okay with a new series of video games based on Zombieland. No Zombies with abilities, no weird experiemental undead nonsense, just people shooting Zombies in the most awesome, over the top, action packed scenes ever. Yes Please.
