A Very "British" version of a classic.

Rating: Null/10 (27 December 2004)

From the opening credits with Goblin's music I had somewhat high expectations. I knew it was going to be a comedic spoof of Dawn of the Dead. What I didn't know was that it was going to be a stupid comedic spoof with British punchlines. It was also very slow moving and I couldn't believe for one moment that a guy like Shaun who was so "anal" about his life (The dry erase chalkboard on his refrigerator and the way he "coached" his employees at the TV store) didn't notice all the chaos occurring all around him. Practically every TV station in England is showing dead bodies and widespread sickness and Shaun and his bumbling roommate are changing the channel to play video games. The rest of the movie reminded me a lot of a Guy Ritchie film with the camera angles and scenes shooting back and forth like lightning. I think that the next time George Romero sanctions anyone to do a remake or spoof of his classic he should do the final edits and ask for more money. By the way folks. Nothing against the British.
