10 Movies That Got Real Dark, Real Fast
10. Zombieland
This is the first of two zombie movies on this list, but it is very different from most others in the genre. Zombieland, even with the living dead and the gory deaths, was still first and foremost a comedy.
The movie was goofy, weirdly heartwarming, and outright hilarious at times, but there was one moment of pain and darkness just waiting to pounce on the unsuspecting audience. This revolved around Woody Harrelson’s character, affectionately known as Tallahassee by his new friends.
The whole point of using destinations as their names was to avoid getting too close or attached to each other, but still, Tallahassee found himself discussing his dog, Buck. He loved the dog so much, they were best friends, but he was taken away from him by the damn zombies.
It’s not until he is playing a game of Monopoly with Columbus, Wichita, and Little Rock that the realization hits - Buck wasn’t Tallahassee’s dog, he was his son. His young boy that was killed by the zombies and that he would never see again. Woody Harrelson wasn't the only one crying at this point.
