Topics: Post-Apocalyptic.
Aroview: Deftly funny splatter comedy set in a post-apocalyptic world overrun with - you guessed it - Zombies, has two drifters teaming up to find the last 'twinkie' (yes, the sweet confection) on earth.
Nerdy Eisenberg and cocky cowboy Harrelson strike a likable comic chemistry as the mismatched tag-team, with the former's obsessive-compulsiveness hilariously contrasting the latter's unrestrained blood-lust. Better-than-expected and proof pudding that making zombie movies isn't yet flogging a dead horse.

4 stars (Very Good) Zombies, gore, a varied cast (from Harrelson’s “don’t mess with me” craziness to Eisenberg’s geeky everyman), and slick visuals. Highlights include Harrelson’s zombie kill of the week moments and Eisenberg’s survival rules guide. ~Tom H
4 stars (Very Good) From the outset this is full-on. Lots of laugh-out-loud moments. Clever dialogue, great cast chemistry. Double-tap! Kahuninja ~Kahuninja
2 stars (Good Try) After the initial excitement I felt myself turning to concrete - it's not very well written or directed. The cast seem to be floundering. Sorry to be a buzzkill. Maybe I need to drink more. Definitely. ~HiFi
2 stars (Good Try) It pales against "Shaun of the Dead" (2004) - both in screenplay and casting - but it is worth a watch. ~Tubbs
