This is what good comedy looks like

Rating: 8/10 (18 May 2020)

There are few comedy films as perfectly observed and constructed as Shaun of the Dead. The meticulous balance between sharp biting humour and an actual engaging (and often quite frightening) story makes this one of the most accomplished films in its genre in the last few decades. The quality of writing makes a complete mockery of the turgid vulgarity churned out by Hollywood in the name of humour. As far as satire goes, this is a masterpiece.
