Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse

Tye Sheridan
Christopher Landon's Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse sank without a trace commercially and was generally reviled critically, but it is good enough to be a future cult film. Part of its commercial failure may be due to its being marketed as an R rated zombie flick when it has a winsome sweetness that might have more suited the PG-13 crowd. Of course, then we would have missed the spectacle of a zombie Cloris Leachman chomping on one of the lead's naked ass.

Landon coaxes warm performances from his leads. Tye Sheridan has a quiet assuredness like DiCaprio or Hanks at this age. But as Joe Bob would say: zombie breasts, detached zombie penis, zombie deer, zombie cats, zombie fu, heads roll. (9/22/16)
