Delivers what it promises

Rating: 9/10 (9 January 2005)

"Shaun of the dead" Delivers exactly what it promises. It's a Zombie movie, so there's gore, a bit of horror, some action and did I mention gore? It's a comedy about the daily grind and about going life as a zombie, made for the sort of people who watch Zombie movies. While Shaun of the Dead doesn't contain the same sort of gore and trauma inducing splatter as either of the Dawn of the Dead movies, I would venture that if you didn't enjoy those, and if you didn't think that "Idle hands" was funny then you're not going to enjoy this one either. For fans of the horror genre, looking for a well made and interesting comedic take on the recent spate of zombie movies though this is one not to miss.
