Funny film with a powerful emotional core.

Rating: 10/10 (15 October 2004)

This is a fantastic comedy that also happens to be a zombie film, brilliantly worked in together by the writers Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright to give us a movie with more depth than the premise suggests. It hinges around an excellent performance by Pegg in the title role, who makes the film believable whatever is happening on screen. The build of humour throughout the film means that the astonishing emotional power of the ending may take you by surprise, but go with it - because I promise you the film is worth it. Also, can't leave without mentioning the supporting players, all of whom fulfill their roles excellently (special mentions to Lucy Davis and the always great Dylan Moran).
