Top 250....nah. But it's still very good.

Rating: 8/10 (8 May 2007)

This was a very good film, but like many recent films, its score has been inflated on IMDb thanks to young viewers that have no appreciation for anything made before they were born--hence older deserving films often are rated lower even though they are excellent films. As a result, lots of mediocre or above average films are given astronomical scores (a great case in point, the film MEMENTO). Now this ISN'T to say that SHAUN OF THE DEAD is a bad film--it's very good, but it isn't so good that I would rank it in the IMDb Top 250! In fact, it's a darn clever film that manages to inject life into a dull genre (zombie movies--when you've seen one, you think you've seen them all). In particular, it's tongue-in-cheek sense of humor was quite refreshing and the film had one of the best endings I have ever seen--I was laughing about the shed scene for weeks. Excellent, refreshing and clever--just NOT Top 250 material.
