how did this get good reviews?

Rating: 6/10 (19 August 2006)

I'm really very anxious to know how this got good reviews. I didn't find this movie remotely entertaining and would have shut it off immediately if I had control of the television at the time. This was an awful movie. I can appreciate the idea of a spoof on zombie films, but at least do it properly! The attempts at ironic humor and sarcasm were very dry and weak. It was neither laugh worthy nor relatively clever. I wasn't too fond of the acting or the use of a Queen song in the soundtrack. Queen is one of the greatest rock bands of all time, please do not defile their music by featuring it in something as awful as this. All in all, I thought this film was very stupid. If you are looking for a horror movie spoof I highly recommend Army of Darkness, but don't bother with Shaun of the Dead.
