Zombieland poster

Posted 17 years ago

I love a good zombie flick… but unfortunately, the good ones are harder to find than a five-star restaurant after the zompocalypse. So far, the horror-comedy ZOMBIELAND seems to be hitting the right balance of SHAUN OF THE DEAD-style comical...

Hack/Slash director

Posted 17 years ago
