Clever Little Zombie Flick

Rating: Null/10 (29 September 2004)

This movie is very witty and clever and even though it hits it's satirical topics over and over a bit too much - it still is flat out funny and has some wonderful touches. The opening satire of many people going through life like a zombie is well done but then the director keeps going back to the well once too often - but the relationships are well drawn and Shaun is a perfect member of the "lost" late twenties generation. Nick Frost gives an excellent performance as his slacker best friend and it's great to see Tim Bevan - one of the stars of the hit BBC sitcom, The Office, put his TV money to good use. Bevan is one of the exceutive producers of the film and even makes a brief cameo. Overall, a little bit of gore, some chills but overall, just damn funny.
