A modern day classic.

Rating: 10/10 (5 December 2008)

Ah, those epic zombie gore drama-comedies. Such a great genre of film. I absolutely loved last year's Hot Fuzz, so it was a given that I would have to check out this one, too, and oh man, it did not disappoint.
Shaun of the Dead is a film that transcends genres and forces you to roll with it as it jettisons through a huge romp full of humor, blood n' guts and some downright tear-jerking moments that honestly surprised me, given the light-hearted nature of Hot Fuzz. This is not a stupid movie, as it knows what it is doing and does it well. All of the jokes are well placed and brilliantly timed, and everything ties together in the way you'd expect - but that doesn't make the ride any less glorious. Superb film.
