Yes - its that good

Rating: 10/10 (13 September 2004)

A few people here seem to be having trouble with this movie containing more than just comedy or horror elements. If you have to pigeonhole all films you see into one category, then fine. But Pegg & Wright have cooked up an affectionate homage to (not a parody of) Zombie movies, including making some nice social satire comments. Yes, the movie also - bravely, but successfully - has sudden bursts of moving drama. Is this really too much to accept in a horror or comedy movie where some great characters have been created? That you should find yourself caring even more about what is going on? If this is too much to cope with, stick with the 'Scary Movie' series - SOTD is much better quality stuff. It is worth all the praise that has been heaped upon it, and subsequent viewings are rewarded too.
