Reviews for Shaun of the Dead
a bizarre mix of genuine romance, flagrant gore, riotous comedy, and somber drama, opens this weekend as one of the most startlingly successful and odd movies all year
09/24/04
It may want to be, as the British might say, a bloody riot, but in fact it seems to suffer from a case of comedic anemia.
09/24/04
Those witty Brits. They may have lost the overseas colony that became the U.S. of A., but they sure know how to spice up a zombie flick with bloody humor.
09/24/04
Shaun's dry wit, and humor is why it succeeds where most Zombie film's fail. It's the funniest movie of the year.
09/24/04
Who knew pint-glass realism and splatter satire could make for such frighteningly smart fun?
09/24/04
Don't be surprised if this clever entry finds favor with a crossover crowd that couldn't care less about a guilty-pleasure genre but appreciates the cheeky humor on display here.
09/24/04
A diverting little horror romp worth catching.
09/24/04
A cool, savvy zombie romance, replete with witty, dryly sarcastic dialogue under fire.
09/24/04
Witty, energetic and appropriately self-mocking, cheesy fun.
09/24/04
It's frequently laugh-out-loud funny and surprisingly scary.
09/24/04
Spiced with a healthy supply of jokes and enough gross-out gags to keep youthful audiences gagging happily.
09/24/04
Top Critic'Shaun of the Dead' is that rarest of birds-a film that not only lives up to its considerable hype, it actually exceeds it.
09/24/04
Finally, a great zombie movie! Disguised as a romantic comedy!
09/24/04
It’s Dude, Where’s My Car? meets 28 Days Later... Perhaps Dude, Where’s My Zombie? would be more appropriate.
09/23/04
Ridiculous and heartfelt, it's both the funniest zombie movie and the scariest romantic comedy you're likely to ever see.
09/23/04
British-import "Rom-Zom-Com" has a little undead life to it, but it's definitely a zombie-come-lately.
09/23/04
Like all self-respecting zombie flicks, the oft-funny Shaun of the Dead deals as much with wicked social commentary as it does with gruesome murder and maniacal mayhem.
09/23/04
It not only functions as a parody of the genre, it works as a straight-up entry, and ends up being a loving homage.
09/23/04
The most entertaining horror movie set in the British Isles since An American Werewolf in London.
