A Classic - Absolutely brilliant!,

Rating: 10/10 (19 November 2011)

Shaun of the Dead is a great film, no questions asked! Its very funny and has great HORROR,a great story and has some excellent acting! The first thing i like about this film is how amazingly funny it is! Although this film may not be that amazing to people who haven't watched any of George A Romero's zombie films as most of the jokes in this film are 'spoofy'. But even if you didn't find this film funny it would still be a great movie, not all great films are comedies! The second thing i like about this film is the acting. Almost everyone who has an acting part in this film has played parts in BBC/ITV dramas or comedies (Casualty and programmes like that)! And in Shaun of the Dead they really do their job well! The films set in the 'rough areas' of a 'rough area' of England so their are no American actors putting on a stupid English accent and all the actors play their parts very realistically, especially Ed (Shaun's best friend)! The story is great in Shaun of the Dead, its very clever the way they seem to place Shaun and 'the gang' in the same situations as the characters off George Romeros films and slip in little jokes! You might of watched the film many times before you notice some of these little hidden grenades of laughter! And if your a fan of zombie films (which you must be really if you want to get the best 'Shaun of the Dead experience') then there is also some violent scenes too! So overall this isn't just great film its incredible, funny, smart and probably the best film of 2004! If you haven't seen this film then don't just watch it but buy it, and buy Dawn of the Dead (make shore its the 1970s version) and watch that before watching Shaun of the Dead. This will help you to understand all the jokes! (This is also a pretty good DVD, there are loads of extras for a single disc edition)
