best horror comedy of all times

Rating: 8/10 (9 December 2005)

The best film of 2004. 10 out of 10 Shaun of the Dead mixes black comedy elements with zombie horror creating a captivating movie that surprises you with its twist and perfectly elaborated details. From the beginning, portraying goofy Shaun and lazy Ed to the unexpected end, you laugh yourself to death. The anti-hero characteristics of Shaun and Ed give the movie an unique but brilliant touch. Adding things from well known movies gives movie experts moments of silent joy(for example the red handkerchief worn by Shaun around the head in the Pub after he is hit by a dart was worn by Christopher Walken in the Russian roulette scenes in ¨The Deer Hunter¨). Despite having the characteristics of an indie movie, Shaun of the Dead has surprisingly good special effects and is cinematographically top. A great movie.
