Brilliant

Rating: 10/10 (14 November 2012)

A truly brilliant horror-comedy which gets it right on every level. Both funny, touching and with plenty of horror moments, this film has it all.
The film boasts an excellent British cast with stand-out performances from Simon Pegg and Nick Frost as the main protagonists and Penelope Wilton and Bill Nighy as Shauns mom and step dad.
The film boasts several memorable scenes but in truth barely a scene is wasted. The true test of a film is whether it repays repeated viewings and on this point the film really excels. I have seen this film on a number of occasions and pick up something new each time.
The film is very British and the extreme bad language throughout may put some people off and the ending could have been slightly stronger but other than that, I really cannot fault this film.
Highly recommended.
