Great characters with a minor horror plot line.

Rating: Null/10 (5 November 2004)

People can talk about this film and tell you why it is funny or not funny; gory or not gory; horror film or comedy, etc. Here is the thing, I went in not expecting much out of this film and had one hellava good time. I really haven't read other reviews so I do not know if anyone mentioned that this is actually a character driven comedy glued together with a zombie plot line. I think if you are looking for a horror film then you may be in the wrong place. The monsters in this film are being used as straight men to the main characters comedic antics. It very much reminds me of 'An American Werewolf in London' in that it has the horror elements and great SFX used to tell a few other personal stories rather than truly attempt to frighten you. Not to say SOTD does not have its share of gore (I wouldn't let my 11 y/o see it) but it just is not scary gore. But like I said in the beginning, I had no expectations so I just took what ever was thrown at me absorbed it with a smile.
Pick it up on DVD when it comes out.
