Beautifully done

Rating: 10/10 (11 April 2006)

I really didn't want to hype myself up at how good this film might be before I watched it, because whenever I have done so in the past, they've all turned out to be dire. But this film was brilliant. No two ways about it. The simple reason behind its success in knowledge. From the comedy stable of Pegg and Wright of S P A C E D fame, these two have always made it clear that they have a passion for classic Zombie films, so getting the chance to create their own must have seemed like music to their ears. The result is a classic - simple plot (in as far as the zombies and their disposal), but also a deep soup, into which the viewer can wade about in: the film plays like a Wheres Wally of extra stuff; some of which you don't realise until to hear the commentary! - It really is a top filum, and all because the writers had the knowledge and the passion for what they were making. Cracking stuff.
