10 Awesome Horror Movie Moments That Make No Sense

5. Everything About The Amusement Park - Zombieland

Zombieland's epic finale sees Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson), Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg), Wichita (Emma Stone), and Little Rock (Abigail Breslin) head to the Pacific Playland amusement park, which they believe to be entirely free of zombies.

Except, activating the park's rides ends up attracting a massive undead horde, prompting the heroic quartet to fight back in a gloriously gory set-piece. 

Where else can you see Woody Harrelson shoot zombies while riding a rollercoaster, or Jesse Eisenberg bash a zombie clown's head in with a sledgehammer? 

The scene's a blast, but it also requires audiences to employ some major suspension of disbelief. 

Even accepting that the gang genuinely thought the area was zombie-free, and that Wichita was desperate to show her younger sister Little Rock a fun time, it's extremely tough to believe that they'd be careless enough to light up the entire park like a damn beacon.

Between the lights and sound, they basically rang the dinner bell for the zombies, and it was a miracle they all made it out of the situation in one piece. If you can forgive that major logical chasm, though, it's a dope scene.
