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!!

Shaun of the Dead is a brilliant movie that will have you laughing from start to finish. The movie starts off showing Shaun's daily routine in an ordinary setting and then follows his exact same routine but with some funny differences. There is a lot of subtle humor that can only be found in the UK movies but at the same time everyone can laugh at it.

this film is so funny it made my sides hurt when i first watched and then i found myself wanting to watch it over and over again.

simon pegg and nick frost are perfect in their roles as bickering best friends and the supporting cast are great too. the story is decent but the atmosphere some of the scenes bring make up for the script. this film is gory, funny, sad:(, and dramtic what else could you want... a sequel maybe???

I saw the movie long after it came out and after I saw Hot Fuzz which I loved. I understand why people love it because at the time it must have been the best thing but seeing it now, it was a little bit entertaining but a slapstic movie which I didn't think too much of.

  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.
