Shaun of the Dead

This is one of my all time favorite movies and I'm introducing yet another cohort!

Shaun of the Dead is such a strange movie it's impossible to categorize it in any of the traditional genres. There is a lot of gore in it to make it a slasher/horror movie, but it's so funny I would rather put in the comedy group.

Either way this movie is FUNNY! Their are so many funny parts to it I don't know which is my favorite. I guess the part where there killing the zombie in the bar while Queen is playing on the juke box. AWESOME!

This movie from start to finish is a riot!! A lot of comedies follow the same basic gags and jokes, this movie goes in a direction that I don't think anyone has ever gone before. And for that it deserves to be considered one of the best comedies to come along in a long time.

I hate zombie films; I truly do. But I LOVE "Shaun of the Dead." Quite simply, because it's not *just* about zombies. It's about ridiculously funny, wayward 20-somethings searching for friendship, loyalty, and trying to do the right thing the day all of London gets attacked by throes of the walking dead.

As a massive fan of "Spaced," I was so excited when I heard Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright were making a feature-length film. "Shaun of the Dead" did not disappoint me at all. It kept me laughing long after the inital viewing, and I've even tried to incorporate some of its jokes into my everyday language (just as I did after watching "Spaced" several times). So I guess it's pretty clear that I consider Pegg and Wright comic genuises.

Even if you're not big on horror movies (believe me, I'm not), if you're a fan of British comedy (as I am to the nines), this is a must-see.

We found this after we thought "Hot Fuzz" was the funniest thing. So, based on the reviews, bought this and agree that it is funny!

Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. it doesnt get much better than that. these guys have outstanding chemestry, which isnt surprising considering their history (Spaced. its a great British TV show, yet to become Region 1) anyway, what makes this movie so amazing you ask? its a great horror movie, and its a great comedy. most movies cant walk such a fine line so well. if it wasnt for the lead duo it would be a straigh up zombie fest, and a good one at that, but its the addition of the hilarious antics of Simon and Nick that push this movie beyond the pale of any horror/comedy to come before it.

basically the story focuses on Shaun(Simon Pegg) and his time leading up to, during, and after the outbreak. its hilarious watching how oblivious he is during the start of the chaos (ie "she's so drunk!") haha priceless.

the camera work, acting, gore effects, and anything else you can think of are all spot on. you couldnt ask much more of this movie. its pretty much perfect. so much care and attention when into every second of shooting this movie. you'll be finding new things to laugh about throughout the movie every time you see it. it gets better and better with repeated viewings.

best horror-comedy ever.
