Clever Irreverence

Rating: 8/10 (28 February 2006)

Many fans view the Night of the Living Dead as one of the greatest horror films of all time. Because of that status, this irreverent take on the inside jokes, situations, and characters of NotLD, has brought this work to immediate cult status.
Many reviewers have painfully detailed each and every reference to NotLD to be found in Shawn of the Dead, but the entire FILM is an homage to that which it spoofs; George Romero's low-budget sleeper hit film of the late 1960's. Why then, would anyone feel the need? Every scene, every detail, is homagic.
If you love the zombie genre, this one is a definite must-see!
It rates an 8.4/10 from...
