There's something about the zombie franchise that makes it perfect for parody. Shaun of the Dead, Return of the Living Dead, and Fido are three off the top of my head.

Now I can add Zombieland.


To me, the better parodies play everything close to the bone (pun intended.) They're told with rotting tongue in cheek, straight-faced, and the jokes hit your funny bone when you least expect them.

The main characters, Tallahassee, Wichita, Little Rock, and Cincinnati, are among the remaining few human survivors after a plague of bad meat turned the rest of the world into zombies. They've all read of a place on the west coast that is zombie-free, and the film follows their journey to that destination -- with some imaginative kills and discoveries along the way. If Woody Harrelson doesn't get some kind of "award" for his character, there is no justice in the world.

My recommendation? Then watch it again. I'll bet you the Zombie Kill of the Week you'll find something new every time you rewatch it.
