Shaun of the Dead: a Modest Review

[PittPoliSci]

OH MY GOD!

Seriously one of the funniest movies I've seen in a very long time. It would shock you by showing you something horribly disturbing but juxtaposing it against something silly.

Very good movie, highly recommended to all DU horror (or comedy) fans.

1. I've wanted to see this movie for a LONGEST time.

Might see it this weekend.

It good to hear a non industry opinion. :D

3. I'm a huge Dawn of the Dead fan

and I have really wanted to see Shaun of the Dead since I heard about it.

4. I thought the movie dragged..

..when they went into the serious hardcore survival horror stuff, but still much better fare than most of Hollywood's mass-produced pablum.

5. Then you must see Peter Jackson's debut!

Bad Taste.

Funny as hell, the DVD is one of my most treasured. Don't know if it matters, but I couldn't care less about LOTR.

Plan to see SOTD myself.

6. Bad Taste

is probably one of my favorite movies of all time. Robert and the Boys gettin' at the Bastards. What a plot! :-)

Roast, that is ;)

7. Saw the film about a month ago.

Truly a delight, especially if you're a fan of British humor.

10. ok now I am curious.

I was gonna write this one off as totally lame and too cheesy, perhaps I should reconsider....

[PittPoliSci]

11. you'll thank me.

amazing movie.

[jonnyblitz]

12. so its not totally dumbass

I am a movie snob sometimes and I am never sure what I will like. i loved house of 1000 corpses, 21 days later and the remake of texas chainsaw massacre when others didn't....and then some shit others love I didn't. alot depends on my mood i think. :shrug:

[PittPoliSci]

13. well...

i liked 28 days later, didn't see the new Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and thought that House of 1000 Corpses had its finer points. But Shaun is funny in a very witty and smart way that appealed to me, so hopefully you'll enjoy it too.
