Nerdy college student Columbus has survived the plague that has turned mankind into flesh-devouring zombies because he’s scared of just about everything. Gun-toting, Twinkie-loving Tallahassee has no fears. Together, they are about to stare down their most horrifying challenge yet: each other’s company. ZOMBIELAND is a double-hitting, head-smashing comedy – perfect for a Friday Late Night Movie screening at the Rio Theatre! With Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Emma Stone, and Abigail Breslin.
“Woody Harrelson has a rip-roaring time in this comic splatterfest as a redneck from hell who is out to kill zombies. It’s the kind of genre acting that doesn’t get much notice, but it’s a gleeful rampage of a performance.” (The New Yorker)
“Very funny, often thrilling and full of neat little touches that should make it entirely rewatchable, ‘Zombieland ‘sees [director Ruben] Fleischer join the ranks of directors – Romero, Wright, Raimi, Snyder – whose first films aren’t just zombie films, but great films.” (Empire Magazine)
“A very ridiculous film which is also a treat.” (Guardian)
“Director Ruben Fleischer has his eyes trained on the comic jugular, and he attains an astronomical laugh count from Rhett Reese and Paul Wernickat’s fizzing, pop-savvy script.” (Time Out)
