The best possible tribute to Romero.

Rating: 9/10 (22 April 2004)

'Shaun of the Dead' starring and co-written by Simon Pegg (of 'Spaced' fame), aims for pure Brit comedy whilst still showing great respect to George Romero's classic trilogy.
Whilst the plot remains very simple (basic zombies take over the world type stuff), the script is injected with fantastically humorous scenes that had me crying with laughter.
Although the film takes a darker twist in the final third, you still laugh out loud at the one-liners and the comic performance of Pegg is absolutely spot on. Horror fans will be satisfied with some quality make-up and special effects for the zombies that are genuinely scary.
Look out for the scene which contains several cameo's for actors from several British TV comedy series.
Great film 9/10.
