Great Movie

Rating: 9/10 (2 May 2007)

More great work from the writer and actors from Shaun of the Dead. Those who enjoy off the wall and often very subtle black humor will enjoy this film - those expecting a spoof movie may not as this movie is not an out an out spoof by any means - indeed it is certainly a cut above your average spoofs given such as the lame Scary Movie franchises as a result of i) better acting ii) better scripting iii) thoughtful and clever jokes. The jokes come thick and fast and you will need to watch this one at least twice to see every one. Looking forward to more work from this team.
The only misgiving about this movie would be the slightly slow first half hour (slow in the sense of very little action and few laugh out loud jokes - though still some very good subtle jokes), when Simon Pegg's character is first re-located to the village of Sandford. However, in the context of the plot of the movie, this start was probably necessary in order to build up the atmosphere of the village as being sleepy and rural.
All in all a class act.
