Probably in the top 5 funniest British films of all time! Definitely the best British Zombie film, although competition is minimal. This is one of my favourite cinema experiences and the only time I've actually 'Rolled on the floor' with laughter. An absolutely brilliant homage t...( read more)

A good homage to the genre, but i do think it's more for genre fans. The humour was more open in Hot Fuzz, i also think the later is overall more solid.

Shaun (Simon Pegg) is in the midst of a lousy patch--he hates and is embarrassed about his job, he gets no respect from other employees, one of his roommates is on his case about the other roommate--a slacker friend of Shaun's, his girlfriend is on his case about the fact that al...( read more)

The great British sit-com has undergone something of a revival in recent years. Galvanised by the new wave of smart, sassy imports from the US, the Brits have girded their loins and produced a spate of quality comedies that have banished memories of the bland, identikit dross of ...( read more)

What I love most about Shaun of the Dead is that it's not a spoof. It honors the horror genre and you can see how much time they took to do so. Adding comedy in so seamlessly makes the movie enjoyable without seeming like a waste of time. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are probably on...( read more)

One of the very few zombie movies out there that is funny, but is not satric or a parody of itself. Simon Pegg is an underrated talent in terms of acting and writing. I laughed so hard at this movie but at the same time was spooked at times. A very rare thing to do outside a Geor...( read more)

looking at life and the system like being a repetitive annoying zombie, cool!
Critic Reviews
Has its pleasures, which are mild but real. full review
I love George Romero's zombie pictures, and I love deadpan English humor, but I had no idea that the two would mesh as happily as they (mostly) do in Shaun of the Dead. full review
A smart, cultish, semi-disgusting homage to the fine British art of not bothering. full review
Shaun of the Dead's splattering of scatological jokes and goofy gruesomeness never fully congeals. full review
Though I prefer the hard-core zombie scares of Danny Boyle's 28 Days Later, Pegg and Wright -- who are rumored to resemble a real-life Shaun and Ed -- keep the blood and the laughs gushing. full review

May 24, 2008I don't understand Flixster's summaries sometimes. What is wrong with the mucked up bill? Simon Pegg is 9th on the Flixster bill. It's a damn outrage.
