Watch Between The Shots! ♦ 80%

Rating: 8/10 (1 November 2013)

There is more fun in the backgrounds and the foregrounds of the sequences of this movie than the original screenplay. This has to be the single reason why it is a great piece of cinema in its new genre.
Comedy & horror rarely go together unless it is some blown-off horror flick which tickles your bone. But, Shan Of The Dead is different as it directly jumps into the scene. What follows is the survival strategy of a group who are not in good terms with each other. Human emotions galore as zombies try to eat the sapiens.
Very strong cinematography pumped with good music makes this a good comedy. With all the gore involved, the horror is lukewarm. Performances are absolutely stunning, especially by Simon Pegg & the girl who played his girlfriend. Zombies did great, too.
Although, towards halfway, the plot does slip into monotony and carries on to induce ennui for some time. But,t hat's forgettable.
BOTTOM LINE: Highly Recommended because there are not many movies like it. 8/10!
