making fun of the dead

Rating: 8/10 (18 May 2004)

i had been looking forward to see this, though i had mixed feelings about it. when i saw the trailer i didn't really know what to think, but now i've seen the movie i do: it's brilliant! pure entertainment, a good laugh with much respect to the horror genre! a cute and well brought fun storyline and a very well paced zombie slasher in one. that's an amazing achievement! i hadn't seen any of the actors before, except Bill Nighy. but they all play their characters really well. the soundtrack and often fast paced montage sure adds up to the enjoyment of this film. last week i saw Dawn of the Dead (the new version) which i really enjoyed for the new styletreat and changes in the storyline. this film (shaun...) however feels much better on the comedy side and still brings a great homage to the zombie genre. if you haven't already; go and see it yourselves, it's well worth the time and money!
