Best Horror Comedy in Years

Rating: 10/10 (8 May 2008)

This is the much funnier and enjoyable comedic version of Night of the Living Dead I'd have created years ago, just far more British. It has several references to the original NOTLD movie and a lot of non-familiar British references. (Do the English really talk like that?) Simon Pegg is a likable loser and his best friend Nick Frost is a likable idiot. Together, they're an incredible comedy team, making this a definite cult classic. I love the recurring gags and the predictable foreshadowing instances plus the character motivations, like Simon fretting and reacting as Nick tosses his prized record collection. A lot of it really is common sense in the face of confusion as well as taking the most difficult way to a solution, the way people really act, and that's what makes this movie in so many ways than one.
