It knocked me dead!

Rating: 9/10 (30 March 2005)

A very funny British comedy and funny parody of the Dead Trilogy. It's unlike Scary Movie or Student Bodies but it is funny nonetheless. The title itself is a pun on Dawn Of The Dead, the film is about an average English worker who is trying to get his girlfriend back and making things right with his parents, until for some unknown reason, the dead begin to walk the earth, and Shaun together with his buddy Ed decide to find their friends and Shaun's mom and girlfriend and get them to safety. It had many funny moments, like the day it started, Shaun and Ed are very oblivious despite news broadcasts that the dead are taking over, and the part when they pretend to be zombies just so they can get past them. The film itself became very impressive to everyone including George Romero himself! I haven't such hilarious stuff like this since Student Bodies. Now, the guys behind this film, Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright are now given cameos(possibly zombie cameos) on Romero's forth upcoming film of the Dead movies(they should've brought Nick Frost in it). Jolly good show you two, see you in Land Of The Dead!
