TEAMING UP: Zombieland is a zombie film worth watching, and definitely worth a sequel.

Zombieland is not your average zombie movie.

For starters, there's far less blood and guts in it than your average post-apocalyptic run-for-your-life-from-the-flesh-eating-undead fare. It's more of a road trip film - and a love story - and less of a gorefest.

It also stars up-and-coming actor Jesse Eisenberg in a role that Michael Cera would probably have relished, Woody 'Where the Hell Has He Been?' Harrelson and the look-how-grown-up-she-is Abigail Breslin.

Then there's an unsuspecting cameo from the great Bill Murray in a role that you won't quickly forget.

It all adds up to a zombie film that will tickle your funny bone and is so good, they're making a sequel. When it comes to zombie films, which are a dime a dozen these days, that's a rare thing.

Extras: Deleted scenes, a commentary with Woody Harrelson, features, extra scenes and trailers.
