Not Bad...

Rating: 7/10 (12 October 2005)

SHAUN OF THE DEAD is a decent movie with some comedy and horror elements, but personally I feel that this film is pretty over-rated. The story is about Shaun, a likable loser who's girlfriend just dumped him. Ed is his slovenly "partner-in-crime", and when the town becomes over-run by zombies, Shaun scoops up his girlfriend Liz, and they all head to the bar (!) to "hole-up" and defend themselves.
Definitely some good humorous scenes, but very lacking in the gore department. After all the hype this film received I have to honestly say I was kinda disappointed. A pretty fun and funny horror/comedy, but I'll stick with Peter Jackson's far superior BRAINDEAD. Anyone who has seen SHAUN but not BRAINDEAD should definitely check the latter out. Far more hilarious and tons more gore. A generous 7/10 for SHAUN
