Apart from 28 Days Later and a few others, many if not most zombie movies since Dawn of the Dead have either been seen as dry comedies or comedy-flecked, tongue-in-cheek horror romps. Ruben Fleischer‘s Zombieland (Sony/Columbia, 10.9), working from a script by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernic, is obviously pushing in the direction of overt genre comedy. Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson and, in a cameo, Bill Murray playing “one of the infected.”
