Shaun of the Dead

Pros: Simon Pegg, some funny moments, some scary moments, the soundtrack...
Cons: The romantic attempt, can't hold the horror/comedy together...

As a whole Shaun of the Dead has an interesting premise (if only slightly reminiscent of 2002’s 28 Days Later) and that premise is that suddenly there are zombies, the walking dead, inhabiting the streets of London. Presto, just like that. ...

Pros: Entertaining movie with good cast.
Cons: Certain things may offend some viewers.

Since I have been enjoying more horror movies in recent years, I have added more of them to my DVD collection.  I recently decided to pick up Shaun of the Dead, a zombie movie that I've heard a lot about.Shaun is in a ...

Pros: hilarious, acting, soundtrack, Britishisms
Cons: a bit too heavy, too gory for some, romantic comedy part

Shaun of the Dead is one of the most enjoyable movies I’ve seen in the past year. On the way out of the theater, I used the word “genius” several times during my giddy ramblings and pretending to be a zombie. Shaun of the Dead is hilarious, ...

Pros: Funny and violent
Cons: None at all

Shaun of the Dead is the best horror comedy since Sam Raimi's The Evil Dead series, especially Army of Darkness. It pokes fun at two of the recent Zombie movies, Dawn of the Dead and 21 Days Later. The story is about a loser named Shaun and the first ...

Pros: Amusing, combination of horror/drama/comedy, well done
Cons: None.

Lethargic thirty-something Shaun and his equally apathetic mates are suddenly swallowed up in the mayhem of the zombie apocalypse – and they don’t even notice. Shaun and his best bud and long time freeloader Ed just don’t see the ...

Pros: Bloody Brilliant!!!
Cons: Probably won't appeal to all American audiences

Basic Plot Synopsis: Shaun is just a nice, normal guy with no real aspirations in life. He has a slacker best friend, a step-father he abhors, a dead-end job where he isn't respected, and a girlfriend who wants something better out of life. ...

Pros: quite funny
Cons: profane and violent

Last year, I saw < b>Hot Fuzz, directed by Edgar Wright and starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, and I loved it so much that I decided I should give their previous collaboration, Shaun of the Dead, a shot. ...

Pros: Funny, unique, and entertaining.
Cons: Boring zombies

I never saw this movie in the theater, a fact I now regret. I didn't sit down to watch Shaun of the Dead with very high expectations - despite the good things I'd heard. I just didn't see how a serious topic like zombies taking over could be done well as ...

Pros: Good frights, oodles of gore and some terrific jokes
Cons: Romance? In a zombie film? Sheesh.

As the second eldest child out of a grand total of six kids, yours truly is used to being looked up to by inferior little snotbags. The number of times one of my younger siblings has stared at me with their beady little eyes and sniffed “When I’m ...

Pros: The title, Pegg and Frost chemistry, hilarious and quite gory
Cons: Horror and comedy uneven at times, maybe a bit too gory for a comedy

In the “why didn’t I think of that?” department comes a little British comedy about zombies, you wouldn’t think the two things would mesh well but you’d be wrong. In Shaun of the Dead we get a rip-roaring good time and still get the horror and ...

Pros: Interesting and engaging story, funny as heck. Simon Pegg. This a regular laugh fest!
Cons: Maybe one too many extras. Bad language, lots of "zed word" gore.

Maybe I am warped . But I have to say this is the funniest movie I have seen in a long time. Given that I think ALL horror movies are funny, especially the ones that take themselves too seriously, it isn’t a stretch for me to laugh my head off (not ...

Pros: Some of the humor, the social commentary
Cons: Excessive profanity, nearly-brainless characters

This movie is a bit hard to categorize, as it is a zombie movie, a dark comedy, a parody of zombie movies, and, beneath all that, surprisingly, a social commentary in a very unusual vehicle. Story: In contemporary England, Shaun is a ...

Pros: hilarious, great nods to previous zombie films, fast moving first hour
Cons: the last act drags on too much

In 1992, director Sam Raimi released the third movie in the Evil Dead series, titled Army of Darkness. The film bombed at the box office, and was only out in theatres for about a week. But with the film's home video release, it ...

Pros: Spot-on social satire; gleeful gore; a classic in the romance comedy genre.
Cons: Slight inconsistency.

Partially a satire on zombie movies, partially a social satire, partially just random insanity, “Shaun of the Dead” is goofy, oddball and affectionate. It combines witty UK humor with a completely unthinkable plot for a movie -- a bunch of people ...

Pros: Wonderfully funny, wonderfully gory, wonderful in general
Cons: Laughs slow as the picture nears its end

In a relatively early and utterly brilliant scene in Shaun of the Dead, one brimming in the creepiest sort of comedy imaginable, titular protagonist Shaun leaves his flat on his daily trek to the local market and--completely oblivious to the ...
