Shaun of the Dead

"An unmissable English movie about the undead which is far from braindead and, simultaneously, a beautifully observed, very funny comedy."

"A side-splitting, head-smashing, gloriously gory horror comedy."

"By treating the genre as a joke, this satire, whose title plays off George A. Romero's 1979 golden oldie, Dawn of the Dead, yields ironic dramatic dividends."

"A British zombie flick that works not because of the crowds of undead, but because the guy trying to exterminate them was himself running out of reasons to live."

"Shaun of the Dead has its pleasures, which are mild but real."

"It's intelligent, funny and utterly disgusting all at once."

"It's a grisly but sweet ode to friendship, love and the George Romero zombie trilogy."

"Transforms the unintentional camp of the zombie subgenre into full-on, hilarious comedy."

"A wonderfully funny spoof of zombie movies..."

"Wonderfully original, fast-moving and funny."

"Even when in danger of self-destructing, it cadges laughs with smart lines, silly observations or blokish inside jokes..."

"The cast make a cosy fit, the patter is still sitcom snappy, but Wright also has the visual snap to carry this saga of backyard apocalypse."

"Wright directs with an expert sense of rhythm..."
