Infusing the horror genre with copious amounts of comedy, this 2009 smash hit takes place after a zombie outbreak has eradicated most of mankind. By sticking to a very strict set of rules, a scrawny guy named Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg) manages to survive, though just barely. Joined by a gun-crazy troublemaker (Woody Harrelson), and two no-nonsense sisters (Abigail Breslin and Emma Stone), Columbus embarks on a cross-country trip that’s equal parts grotesque and hilarious. Both the original director and original main cast members reunited for a long-awaited sequel in 2019, set 1 years after the events of the first movie.
