I have not heard of Shaun of the Dead

Rating: 10/10 (6 March 2007)

What a surprise. A dreary, rainy Sunday and a spontaneous trip to the pictures resulted in the best de-stress and laugh out loud I have had for ages. Unlike many others that have commented on this film, I have not seen Shaun of the Dead, not heard of Shaun of the Dead and didn't know it was the same director and so had no preconceptions. It was mere chance we chose this film over the others being shown.
From the opening scene I was laughing and didn't stop for most of two hours. Although there were a lot of familiar faces I didn't know the lead characters but they were very convincing in their characters. The female policeman/officer, although she had a small part, made a very strong impression and reminded me of Gladys from Hi de Hi. Hysterical.
I thoroughly enjoyed every minute and couldn't believe the last half an hour. My daughter said that I was the loudest person in the cinema.
Highly recommended. Lots of fun with a few scary, jumpy bits.
