British horror/comedy Shaun of the Dead is a scream in all senses of the word. Brain-hungry zombies shamble through the streets of London, but all unambitious electronics salesman Shaun (Simon Pegg) cares about is his girlfriend Liz (Kate Ashfield), who just dumped him. With the help of his slacker roommate Ed (Nick Frost), Shaun fights his way across town to rescue Liz, but the petty concerns of life keep getting in the way: When they're trying to use vinyl records to decapitate a pair of zombies, Shaun and Ed bicker about which bands deserve preservation--New Order they keep, but Sade becomes a lethal frisbee. Many zombie movies are comedies by accident, but Shaun of the Dead is deliberately and brilliantly funny, while still delivering a few delicious jolts of fear. Also featuring the stealthy comic presence of Bill Nighy (Love Actually) and some familar faces from The Office. --Bret Fetzer

 Great comedy horror film November 4, 2008
This film is superb fun, and has plenty of really good laughs as well as brilliant scenes with zombies. It's a very inventive film that lifts the horror-comedy movie to a level that hasn't been seen for a long time.
This is a really enjoyable bit of nonsense that I'd recommend to anyone. Great stuff.
tight script, funny, fresh November 1, 2008
Not a spoof. The admitted goal of this movie was the be a comedy AND a zombie movie, and in that respect they nailed it. They don't make fun of zombie movies, they make fun of life, love, and death. One of the few horror movies that works as a date movie. Simon Pegg knows funny, but the entire cast gets a turn to shine through as well.
buy this October 28, 2008
This movie is cheap and WAY worth it! This is such a hysterically funny movie that you wont stop laughing while youre wondering who becomes a zombie next. Watch this insanely entertaining movie!

I never knew such movie existed. Wow..........where have I been and what have I been missing~!!!! PERFECT movie for me. It has EVERYTHING I LOVE about in this one movie, fun, funny, romance, action, beautiful places, beautiful people, beautiful music, and classy British taste and creativity. NOTHING like American movie. I love European movies. PERIOD. Listed as my TOP favorites movie of all time now.
 Not as good as Hot Fuzz September 22, 2008
0 out of 4 found this review helpful
Hot Fuzz rocked, but this one was a little slow and lacked a plot. It wa s a little long winded. It did have some funny lines that made me laugh out loud, but it was not as funny as I thought it would be. PQ/AQ 4/5.
