This is very, very British.

Rating: Null/10 (13 April 2004)

In fact, it's the most british film i've seen in long, long time. More british than any of Richard Curtis' offerings, more british than even Harry Potter. The sense of place is strong in Shaun of the Dead. Possibly that could be an alienating feature, but in truth i loved it. Well done to all concerned.
It's also very funny, in a way that relies a lot on delivery and context. It's not quoteable, in that respect; the humour's difficult to relate to people who weren't there, but it's very funny on the screen. You'll just have to trust those of us who have seen it.
Despite that, it gets quite dark towards the end, and there are one or two lump-in-the-throat moments to go alongside the many edge-of-the-seat moments. This is very definitely a spoof, but it kind of works quite well as a Zombie film in its own right, here and there.
Also, i loved seeing Jessica Stevenson pop up here and there. Any chance of a Jess-centred sequel?
