Zombieland (2009)
Survivors of a zombie apocalypse discover that their biggest threat might be their own darkly comic dysfunction.
Columbus has made a habit of running from what scares him. Tallahassee doesn't have fears. If he did, he'd kick their ever-living ass. In a world overrun by zombies, these two are perfectly evolved survivors. But now, they're about to stare down the most terrifying prospect of all: each other.
How intense is Zombieland?
