An Underrated Horror-Comedy That Tried To Be the Next Zombieland Is Streaming Completely Free

by

It’s hard to find movies that capture the same funny and scary spirit as Zombieland. Ruben Fleischer’s 2009 film, with its clever rules for surviving the zombie apocalypse and a great cast, quickly became a beloved classic – and it’s still enjoyable to watch. Now, six years later, a similar movie that attempts to recapture that magic is available to stream for free.

Fans of zombie comedies can now watch Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse on Tubi. The 2015 film arrived on the free streaming service on March 1st. It’s a fast-paced, funny horror-comedy that aimed to capture the same energy as Zombieland, following three teenage scouts who must use what they’ve learned to survive a zombie outbreak and protect their town during a final camping trip. While it didn’t achieve the same popularity as Zombieland – receiving poor reviews and earning little money at the box office – the movie, directed by Christopher Landon and starring Tye Sheridan, Logan Miller, Joey Morgan, Sarah Dumont, and David Koechner, has gained a dedicated cult following over time.

Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse Wanted To Be the Next Zombieland

It’s clear that Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse tried to follow in the footsteps of Zombieland. Like other movies such as Warm Bodies, it aimed to recreate Zombieland‘s success by mixing serious zombie action with comedy, pop culture, and a unique group of survivors. The film has a similar feel, featuring inventive and fast-paced zombie kills, and balancing humor with horror. While it didn’t receive the same praise as Zombieland and isn’t quite as good, it’s an underrated option that offers a comparable experience.

Don’t let the mixed reviews of Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse stop you from giving it a watch. It’s not a cinematic triumph, but it’s a genuinely fun and lighthearted movie with a classic B-movie feel. It doesn’t try to be serious, leaning instead into goofy humor and exaggerated gore as the scouts cleverly use their scouting skills to fight zombies. Beyond the zombie action, the movie also tells a sweet coming-of-age story with a lot of heart, thanks to the great chemistry between the three main characters. And it all builds to a satisfying finale that most viewers will enjoy.
