Not a classic comedy or horror film, but still

Rating: Null/10 (2 November 2004)

... worth a watch! In fact, I was crying with laughter at various points in the film at Pegg and Frost's hammy acting and witty one liners (the throwing of hands in the air scene as the first zombie enters their house had me in stitches, as did the discussion in the garden over which classic vinyl records they would throw at the zombies...)
I liked "Shaun of the Dead". It has comedy, traditional jumpy scenes when the zombies are after them and closing in, as well as some very poignant moments such as when Shaun's mother becomes ill. It is a light-hearted comedy horror, not to be taken seriously (let's face it, the gory effects are very basic), but it has a "certain something" that will probably appeal to most comedy horror fans. It's not cheesy like many Hollywood comedy B flick horrors. It's pragmatic, ironic, sarcastic and poignant all rolled into one, and the humour appeals to our very basic selfish self-preservation instincts and wants as opposed to needs.
Pegg and Frost compliment each other well, like many comedy duos before them, but the supporting cast also add to the intrinsic comedic value of the film.
