Funny comedy, but a bit disappointing in the end

Rating: 7/10 (28 July 2007)

The comedy starts very well, with the team that later would do Hot Fuzz, putting out a lot of funny ideas. I especially liked the view of early morning people that look and act like zombies anyway. Then I loved the way it all gradually translated into the zombie thing.
But then it all fell apart. Bill Nighy had the smallest of roles when he could have added a lot of humour there. The puns and jokes just went silent while they were either bashing zombies or running away from them.
Just as Hot Fuzz, it started really well and then stalled, like an airplane going straight up.
Bottom line: funny zombie movie, definitely worth watching, but a bit disappointing.
