Zombieland
Post-apocalyptic undead romp
Zombieland is a 2009 American horror comedy film set in a post-apocalyptic United States overrun by zombies.
The title combines zombie with a theme park suffix, suggesting both a zombie-infested landscape and darkly comic entertainment.
The film spawned a sequel and inspired broader use of the -land suffix for any situation dominated by a particular element: My commute through rush hour traffic is basically zombieland.
