Lots of fun

Rating: 8/10 (10 April 2004)

As comedy zombie films go [and it's not the hugest genre to be honest!], this is one of the best. It's not in the same league as Braindead, but Peter Jackson's the king of comedy horror paradies, so it's not fair to compare.
Shaun is a electronics salesman who finds himself in the position of needing to save his friends and family when London is over-run by zombies.
This doesn't have a go at horror films, as much as actually pay a lot of respect to them and there's enough references there to keep the avid horror buff entertained.
In Dawn of the Dead, the mindless braindead zombies go to the mall. In Shaun of the dead, they go down the pub - a take modern day life if ever this was one.
A rollicking good laugh throughout.
