Amazon.co.uk Review:
It's no disparagement to describe Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright's zombie-rom-com Shaun of the Dead as playing like an extended episode of Spaced. Not only does the movie have the rather modest scope of a TV production, it also boasts the snappy editing, smart camera moves, and deliciously post-modern dialogue familiar from the sitcom, as well as using many of the same cast: Pegg's Shaun and Nick Frost's Ed are doppelgangers of their Spaced characters, while Jessica Stevenson and Peter Serafinowicz appear in smaller roles. Unlike the TV series, it's less important for the audience to be in on the movie in-jokes, though it won't hurt if you know George Romero's famous Dawn of the Dead trilogy, which is liberally plundered for zombie behaviour and mythology.
Shaun is a loser, stuck in a dead-end job and held back by his slacker pal Ed. Girlfriend Liz (Kate Ashfield) is exasperated by his lack of ambition and unceremoniously dumps him. As a result, Shaun misses out on what is apparently the end of the world. In a series of beautifully choreographed and edited scenes, including hilarious tracking shots to and from the local shop, he spectacularly fails to notice the death toll and subsequent zombie plague. Only when one appears in their back garden do Shaun and Ed take notice, hurling sundry kitchen appliances at the undead before breaking out the cricket bat. The catastrophe proves to be the catalyst for Shaun to take charge of his life, sort out his relations with his dotty mum (Penelope Wilton) and distant stepdad (Bill Nighy), and fight to win back his ex-girlfriend. Lucy Davis from The Office and Dylan Moran of Black Books fame head the excellent supporting cast. --Mark Walker
Rating:
- Clever, Hilarious, Scary & Crammed with Extras
Quite simply this the best movie British movie of the first decade of the 21st Century.Okay it won't look as impressive on your DVD shelf as "Atonement", or give you as much "cool points" as "Casino Royale" but after a bad day at school/college/uni/work this movie will lift your spirits despite being set in the midst of a plague of zombies in London.
Great acting and a deceptively clever script mean this DVD is actually an accomplished piece of movie making by Pegg and Wright and not ... Read More
Rating: - Great comedy horror film
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.
Rating: - Zombie Realism
Before I saw the movie, I thought it was made to mock all the other zombie movies (especially by Romero)...boy, was I wrong!! First of all, it is damn hysterical, but it would be small-minded to label it as a comedy because there are so many different aspects to this story (romance, friendship, family relationships, etc.)
I also enjoyed the characters - very believable (I'm sure you'll be thinking of your friends and family when you watch this one)...and if you are wondering about the ... Read More
Rating:
- So nearly great
This is so nearly a great film but just misses the mark ever so slightly.
Bad points: Some of the dialogue is a bit laboured ("Shaun, you've got red on you") and the plot's skeleton can be seen through some of the thinner parts of the story.
The tone of the ending feels bizarrely jarring with the preceding 90mins and the wooden/dull lead actress really is an odd choice, considering the excellent Jessica Stephenson was on hand.
Good points: A British film the not ... Read More
