SCARY MOVIE OR COMEDY?

Rating: Null/10 (26 September 2004)

Well, I thought I would watch Dawn of the Dead before I saw Shawn of the Dead, which a friend told me I should do first. My friend from UK saw it and said it was one of the best movies he had seen. I am always suspect of UK humor as he was a big Monty Python fan as well as Benny Hill and I did not like either one of them. Anyway, in this case he was correct and I did agree. Shawn was a very good movie. It was strange in that I laughed and was scared all in one movie. I liked Shawn and really felt for him. The special effects of the movie were very good and I thought there was more gore, blood, guts etc...than some of the scenes in Dawn of the Dead. I liked some of the crazy humor, but some I thought was stupid. It seemed like teenagers really liked the movie in the audience. The bottom line is that I was entertained. As with Dawn, this is not a movie to take the kids to.
