Few things are scarier than being chased by a zombie, which explains the enduring popularity of zombie movies. Since George A. Romero’s *Night of the Living Dead* popularized the genre, there have been many frightening zombie films, but one from the late 2000s stands out as a true classic. That popular, star-filled movie is now available on Peacock starting in September 2025, just in time for Halloween, though finding its follow-up film may still be a challenge for fans.
Ruben Fleischer’s popular 2009 zombie comedy, *Zombieland*, became available on Peacock starting September 1st. The film stars Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, and Abigail Breslin, and features a funny appearance by Bill Murray. It follows a mismatched group of people traveling to what they hope is a safe place in Los Angeles, and they have a set of rules to help them survive and kill zombies along the way. The sequel, *Zombieland: Double Tap*, released in 2019, is available on Hulu with a Live TV subscription, or you can rent or buy it online.
Why You Should Watch Zombieland
When *Zombieland* came out, zombie movies were everywhere, but it still stood out as a fun and original take on the genre. It proved that zombie comedies could be both successful and enjoyable. The film feels like a celebration of zombie movies, acknowledging classic tropes while playfully turning them on their head, especially through its memorable list of survival rules. *Zombieland* combines clever writing, funny visual humor, and a quick pace with plenty of exaggerated gore and action.
Zombieland is a hilarious and energetic movie with a fantastic cast, making it a consistently enjoyable watch. When it came out, both critics and audiences loved it, and it went on to become one of the most successful zombie films ever, earning over $102 million worldwide. It’s highly rated on Rotten Tomatoes, with 89% approval from critics and an 86% audience score, earning it a “Certified Fresh” badge.
