I put off watching this for ages but when I did, I loved it. It's hilarious at parts and there's those little bits of gore so that you don't forget you're watching a zombie movie. If you haven't watched it yet, watch it! You'll love it.

Another in the line of contemporary zombie movies showing that this genre is still alive and kicking. So what does this one bring to the table that we haven't seen before? To understand this I must first touch on the acting. The acting is stable across the board, and the characters are all very believable. What makes them so believable lies in the relationships between the characters, which are shown very well through clever use of comedic and romantic elements. Now, horror and comedy rarely mix well but I must say this movie was most enjoyable - and I'm proud to say it's right up there with Army of Darkness and Dawn of the Dead in terms of quality, because it's good - not only as as a horror comedy, but also as a must-see zombie movie. Check it out, even if you're not in to zombies.

Awesome movie. Not since Evil Dead 2 & Army of Darkness has such a great combination of genres (in both cases Horror & Comedy) been actualized so well. Zombies plus comedy equals GOLD.

I am not really a fan of zombie films, but this movie completely changed how I felt about zombies. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are one of the best comedy duos since Abbot and Costello. This film is not only one of the best zombie films of all time, but it is also one of the funniest buddy-type films. The humor is dark yet silly and works every time. Great film!!

  A gleefully gory, pitch-perfect parody of George Romero's zombie films. But this isn't a movie about other movies. Shaun of the Dead stands on its own.

  The daffy, innately British joke that propels the cheeky U.K. comedy hit Shaun of the Dead is that although real zombies have risen up -- slacker wankers Shaun (Simon Pegg) and his best pal and roommate, Ed (Nick Frost), are too slack, wankerish, and blitheringly British to notice.

  In this truly retro horror flick, the heroes and heroines don't just quip over the action (though they do get off some funny lines); they're knee-deep in it, and scared sh------.

  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.

  If the zombie genre steadfastly refuses to die, we can be grateful to Shaun of the Dead for breathing fresh, diverting life into the form, with subtle visual humor and a smart, impish sense of fun.

  Mixing horror and humor is no mean feat, but Shaun Of The Dead tightens throats in fear without making the laughs stick there in the process.

  Pegg and Wright are out of their depth in the second half, when they try to engage the more disturbing elements of Romero's movies, but their disaffected slacker take on the genre is a welcome alternative to the usual bloodbaths.

  Every moment... is a cleverly constructed live-action joke on aloofness: The world is ending, and these people are too self-centered to notice.
