Movies that feel likeZombieland (2009)

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.

If you loved Zombieland, the closest films we have are Warm Bodies (2013), What We Do in the Shadows (2014) and Tucker and Dale vs. Evil (2010). All three share Zombieland's witty and playful feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Housebound (2014).
