An out-of-seat experience in more ways than one!

Rating: 8/10 (10 April 2004)

Aptly billed as a Rom-Zom-Com, SOTD satisfies all three genres. Firstly, it is romantic, but thankfully without the blatent sentimentality common to many a modern-day blockbuster. Rather, SOTD is romantic in an everyday way - excepting the fact that a zombie outbreak isn't a common happenstance - but we all have a Shaun or Eddy on a couch near us. Secondly, there are Zombie-horror-tastic moments a-plenty with a suspense-building soundtrack and cinematography that keep you on the edge of your seat and un-telegraphed moments to keep you out of it! Above all though, it's a comedy, drawn from a plethora of influences, a lively script and great performances which result in a laugh-out-loud, thoroughly enjoyable treat. Apart from all that, it's an excellent opportunity to prod the person next to you and exchange knowing glances of recognition at faces well-known and well-loved on the small screen. Enjoy!
