One of the best Brit Flicks in ages

Rating: Null/10 (29 April 2004)

At first when I heard the title, I thought it was going to be a lame parody of the George A. Romero film, in the style of the 'Scary Movie' trilogy. However, upon finding out it was written Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright I decided to give it a go, being a fan of 'Spaced'.
Having now watched it twice and intending to go back for a third helping, you can tell I enjoyed it. Maybe the humour isn't for everyone - like 'Spaced', you either get it, or you don't - but it is certainly worth going to see. Okay, so you don't expect to see lavish sets and million-dollar effects shots, but that's not what this film is about. It's trying to make us laugh while making us think about how our society has become zombified in the process of our mundane, repetitive lives, very much like the original 'Dawn of the Dead' did.
Look around you next time, see how like the shambling zombies a lot of people have become, aimlessly wandering from place to place, blank expressions on their faces.
Fantastic use of limited sets, script got a bit loose in places, but the little jokes in the film for Spaced fans as well as the great one-liners just make the film for me.
I give it 9/10. Have a banana!
