Zombies and romance...

Rating: 10/10 (26 April 2005)

What a great British mish-mash of fantastic stuff! Haven't had such a laugh in ages. This film is -highly- recommendable. Nevermind if you don't like blood and/or gore - the amount of seriousness in this movie is more or less on par with your standard episode of Tom & Jerry. For once it seems a zombie-flick actually had a budget. There's nothing to complain about in the special effects department, and the visual style of the film is just plain great. If you've seen Darren Aronofsky's Requiem For A Dream, and Guy Ritchies Lock Stock And Two Smoking Barrels you'll probably see some common ground in the visual style - although Shaun of the dead contains nothing of the seriousness of Requiem...
Sure... a few hundred liters of blood... but, it's just plain 'ole fun. 10/10.
