KasperL | 99 99th |
My favorite comedy of all time. While we do get an abundance of awesome references and moments that only a very genre conscious director could pull off, what makes Wright's zombie flick tribute so outstanding is that he manages to transcend parody and pastiche; at the same time poking fun at the subgenre and making an excellent contribution to it. Cudos goes, of course, to Pegg and Frost whose real life friendship provides heart. Pegg is particularly hilarious, his timing and acting impeccable.

A great spoof on the typical serious zombie movies. Completely silly with lots of gags and funny scenes. Very British, but it translates well as the script and accents are coherent. The story is pretty simple, but effective. There were a few crazy funny moments, but the writers really got outlandish at the very end. Shaun is a likable character, and the movie is engaging to the end. Great fun if you don't mind a bit of zombie gore. Not for kids.

An odd, offbeat, absurd mix of comedy, parody, genuine horror, and tear-jerkers with surprising moments of character and style throughout. Somehow this works profoundly well, creating a movie that goes beyond a simple parody.

DavidBlast | 90 92nd |
Clever, funny, highly rewatchable. 'Shaun of the Dead' is a love letter to the zombie genre, and the love flows out of the screen in abundance. Pegg and Frost are magnificently disarming in this bromance, with Nighy and Moran making excellent use of their supporting characters. Mixing the zombie setting with English suburbia is a masterstroke, and it's dificult to think if a better comedy in recent years - if at all.

This film is definitely more of an homage to Romero's classic Zombie trilogy than a parody. It has romance, comedy, great one-liners and zombies! In my eyes there hasn't been a more entertaining british comedy since 'Life Of Brian'. The characters are interesting, the soundtrack is great and Nick Frost's 'Ed' just may well be one of the funniest sidekicks in British comedy history.

A hilarious zombie/comedy. I didn't think it was possible to do such a combo right, but this movie did it in spades. Think of Romero-esque makeup and effects, and then jack up the hilarity 10 times. If you do that, you've got Shaun of the Dead.

So, so much more than just a spoof, it's a full-blooded zombie epic in its own right, constantly hilarious while maintaining the bloody scares we ask for from the genre. In fact, the scares come to work even better than the usual zombie movie, because we've actually come to care about the characters. My favorite zombie movie ever.

Sheer insanity! A juggernaut zombie spoof that tackles at several genres. The first half is a absurd, delirious, witty, gorey and satisfying comedy while the second half is a deranged, full-blooded survival horror flick. I look forward to seeing more stuff from Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright.

cagedwisdom | 100 90th |
An instant cult classic, I wouldn't have thought this managed to pull off both romantic comedy and zombie slasher so thoroughly; it could easily have stood up on it's own as either and is as such doubly great. The cast is perfect (I've always loved Lucy Davis unconditionally), the jokes are fresh, and while it can be blunt at times it's hard to fault it for it. Really, this might be the best zombie film I have ever seen. Very surprising. Also, Bill Nighy as a zombie.

Yea I know, 90 seems high for a romantic zombie comedy. But this is one of the overall funnest movies I've seen. It's fun, funny, and it's got a surprising amount of heart. It's also clever as hell with an amazing satire of zombie movies and romantic comedies, while somehow being a successful zombie movie and romantic comedy itself at the same time. It's a good concept with near perfect execution.

While being one of the funniest movies ever, it also manages to be one of the most realistic interpretations of a zombie outbreak. I'm genuinely convinced most people would react like Shaun if they were thrust into a zombie scenario.

juntakinte99 | 80 65th |
The picture is what is says on the tin: a live action Simpsons Halloween House of Horror about zombies. It's balanced by a dramatic subplot of a young man coming to terms with his family and friends--although done better later in The World's End. While it's a glimpse of Wright's future work, sadly, one thing he hasn't grown out of are annoying visual gags and his Film Bro privilege. The latter dates the movie via some sexist, racist, and homophobic jokes. Still it's fun for what it is.

I should say that I'm not a zombie movie fan, I have seen a lot of zombie flicks but just not a fan. With that said this movie is hilarious. It's not a non-stop slap-stick gag riot and there are surprising moments of genuine drama that do pull at your heart strings. Predominately this is a comedy though and be prepared to laugh your ass off, especially if you enjoyed their work previous on Spaced.

It's hard to deny that this is the most original film of the new millennium. It's hilarious and clever, and the concept, a mishmash of genres, plus zombies, is so incredibly fun that only someone who is completely brain dead, or hungry for brains, wouldn't love it. Awesome!

Enjoyed it a lot, the opening half hour in particular is a brilliant mix of deadpan and absurdity with the looming horror that takes its sweet time to become real. The rest is really funny too. What raises this film above just a comedy is the relationships and, like the other films in the trilogy, the meditations on growing up. It's great how many relationships of varying strength and turmoil the film manages to cram in and make them real enough to matter when something strains them.

Astfgl | 100 99th |
The perfect combination of about 4 different genres: zombie movies, romantic comedies, growing up stories, and survivor movies. This isn't just a parody of them all. In fact, it's not a parody at all. It genuinely is ALL of those movies, and it does a great job with each. If I had one complaint about this movie, it would be the size of Jessica Hynes's role. More Daisy, please!

Not only is it extraordinarily funny, but the zombies (modeled in the classic Romero sense of the word) are actually scary as well, with Romero's metaphor of the inevitability of death updated to a fight against a meaningless, slacker existence. Because it succeeds as both a comedy and a horror, it may actually be one of the best zombie movies ever made.

Frosty | 85 93rd |
Like the Coens in The Hudsucker Proxy and Miller's Crossing; Wright and Pegg understand that while a movie can be a pastiche of movies or a genre, it must work on its own merit as well. Shaun of the Dead is a great success in this regard, a funny romantic comedy that transforms by the final act into full blown horror.

Not the best genre film from the United Kingdom, but even after multiple viewings since it was first released in the cinemas, this is still a great achievement, a horror comedy which is both exceptionally funny but can also be very serious, and emotionally powerful as well, within a drop of a hat. It is still a gem.

I simply can't explain it. Everything about this movie tells me that I should love it, but I don't. I don't know why . Perhaps this movie somehow falls right in my blind spot, but I really can't see what everybody else are seeing. The main characters annoy me, Pegg's Shaun is an idiot loser but in comparison Frost's Ed makes Shaun look like a bloody genius and I find myself rooting and cheering for the zombies.

I don't even know how many times I've seen this. Edgar Wright's first piece of work Is a real showcase. The leads fit like a glove and it does have a sense of horror and dread at times, as well has many quotable lines and scenes. The screenplay, acting, and direction and blood keep this 90 minutes worth while. Recommended for sure!

This movie is so great! Not only is it a great comedy but it is also a fantastic Zombie movie. Let's call it a Zomedy. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are just amazing in this film. The rest of the cast fill in just nicely. I think the way this was filmed was also great. Even watching Shaun get ready for work was interesting. A lot of wonderful little details are seen in the background showing that they put a lot of thought into small details. Just an excellent movie that everyone should watch.

a rare endeavour of zombie parody that absurdly funny and original. the movie was a breakout role for both Simon Pegg and Nick Frost and also their director Edgar Wright.
they all deserved the break that they need because this is one truly great zombie spoof that filled with wits and chemistry between its cast. its refreshing to see two talented british comedian made this terrific movie with much passion and a great sense of humor.

I could watch this movie twice a year for the rest of my life and never be bored with it. The gang (Edgar Winter, Simon Pegg, and Nick Frost) endear themselves to us with their first major motion picture in the Cornetto franchise. This is an incredible addition to the zombie subgenre of films. Zombie movies themselves are a commentary on life, but this movie is not only that but also a commentary on zombie movies as a genre. The whole cast is awesome, but Nick Frost will forever be the best.

The set-up here is brilliant, with all its sly foreshadows and that amazing one-take shot of Shaun heading to the store, and while the more straight-forward horror comedy that follows doesn't wow as much as the comedic/dramatic irony of the first act, it's always entertaining (a scene highlight: sifting through the records in the backyard), with weirdly but appreciably genuine pathos (see Ed and the cigarette in the cellar) and apocalyptic character tension (see the Winchester wars of words).

One of the best zombie movies in recent memory, this movie thinks enough of it's audience that it makes no attempt to frighten them or attempt to explain the zombification with drivel. Instead the movie focuses on being interesting, which it does marvelously.

Overcomes its title to become more than just a simple spoof of Dawn of the Dead, and becomes a satire of zombie films in general, romantic comedies, as well as being a rather effective romantic comedy/zombie film itself.
Very well written and pretty funny throughout. Solid comedy and a solid flick.

Hurrah. We can do it people. We can make a truly funny film that does not involve 'plucky' (HATE HATE HATE that word) Brits stripping or Richard frigging Curtis. From the people who brought you Spaced (look it up in your own time) comes Zombies and comedy together. Oh, and romance because we're not going too far from the template. Just brilliant, too many good bits to mention. F***-a-doodle do.

(after repeat viewings) An outrageous comedy, with lovable characters and some hilarious deadpan delivery that made me lose interest when it became more dramatically inclined near the end. I felt both genres weren't seamlessly integrated, something Wright improved upon with 'Hot Fuzz'. Despite that minor setback, it remains one of the most enjoyable films of the last decade, one that immediately put Wright on the map as a competent director to watch. Recommended.

Fantastic. Loved the early scenes with the carnage happening in the background with Shaun blissfully unaware. The end was a little deus ex machina, but Yvonne showing up randomly was foreshadowed and his party meeting up with hers was easy to consider as how far the joke would go. Again, fantastic movie.

Everything I had hoped from Wright, Pegg and Frost. They clearly LOVE horror movies, but with this they took the zombies into our lives. Theres so much truth in this movie... get to the pub. Simple. True. FUNNY! [SUPPORTED THEARTICALLY]

Too funny. I can understand the people who don't like the movie's second half turn towards horror rather than parody, but when a comedy's tribute to the genre plays better than many more serious attempts, I can't help but like it.

Edgar Wright sustains a narrative with plenty of gags and gore, in a very inspired parody. It's a rare kind of drop-dead-funny comedy, with bright acting and a fantastic script. A damn bloody delight.

"Shaun of the Dead" is simultaneously one of the best zombie movies I've seen, and one of the best comedies. This should not be possible. But somehow the brilliant team behind "Shaun" stayed above the level of screwball parody (with the exception of one silly scene tacked onto the very end), delivering a compelling world-gone-undead action storyline, and still packing it with an endless supply of humor. Or should I spell it "humour?" I really enjoyed this movie.

Perfect in every way. The comedy is spot-on. The horror aspect is effectively creepy when taken out of context and is a brilliant sort of parody-homage within the film. The actors are all hilarious and the running jokes (that extend even beyond this one film) are nothing shy of epic. If you have not seen it, you must.

I love everything about this movie. Not only is it hilarious, but it's arguably the best zombie movie ever made. Anyone who has even the most remote interest in zombie-esque movies or comedies should watch this. In fact, if you've never seen this you should stop whatever it is you happen to be doing right now (let's be honest, probably downloading porn) and go watch this movie. You can thank me later.

Fantastic zombie comedy that succeeds not because of the pitch perfect direction, writing and acting, but because it's so unashamedly British. Like the best episode of Spaced ever, nothing is dumbed-down or blown-up to appeal to an international audience: subtle (and incredibly unsubtle) humour is used to perfection. The only negative is that too much time is spent inside the pub, with a seriousness that creeps in toward the climax and kills off some of the jokes in the process.

Can't help but take my hat off to a movie that understands its genre and plays within it. Shaun's completely oblivious to the symptoms of the takeover for the first third, through clever background imagery and how engaging his everyday life is. The little things are remembered which is important with call-backs scattered throughout the script. On another note underplaying Moran, who was at the top of his game in 04 is worth a mention. Overall, a well conceptualized and carried out film.

Such a well-structured satire that both pokes fun at the cliches of the zombie flick but also endorses them in such an eloquent way which, in turn, almost makes this both the greatest satire of apocalyptic movies but also one of the most engaging zombie films ever. Perhaps a bit too many characters end up as bait in the end but the wit, the humor and well-acted and familiar main character makes up for it all in the end. A quirky and hilarious film all in all; could this be the first zom-rom-com?

I treat this as an extension of Spaced mostly due to the setting and characters, but it's also a brilliant parody of the best Romero zombie films (mostly) which can stand by itself without familiarity with the sense of humour. I think it also handles the more serious aspects with just the right amount of balance between drama and comedy a bit more than Wright's other output.

I find it simply amazing that horror and comedy can manage to work together and independently as well. It's not just a fun zombie flick, it has a much more classic level that we can base many zombie films on. I've often thought that we can compare this to real life considering the technology revolution, but, besides that, you'll still be able to scream one time and laugh the next, and maybe even at the same time.

Shaun of the Dead is one of the best British films in years and it turned the Zombie genre on it's head. Edgar Wright superbly injects life back into the washed up Zombie formulae with the genius use of British humour. Simon Pegg & Nick Frost are perfectly cast and the double act have gone to further successful collaborations with the filmmaker. The supporting cast is strong also with the addition of some fun cameos. The screenplay is genius and the quotable one liners make this so rewatchable.

Hilarious film. Well written, well acted. I think the standout of this film though is the directing/editing. The comedic timing of the editing in response to the dialogue really raised this film above what it should really have been which is a decent zombie-comedy. It's a modern classic for sure and whilst not my favourite in the cornetto trilogy, it is probably the best objectively.

Edgar Wright's brand of comedy often relies on quick, sometimes incongruous, cuts. He is one of, if not the best, contemporary filmmakers at these types of scenes. Shaun of the Dead works wonders with that technique. The film is also greatly enhanced by the performances of its leads, Simon Pegg (Shaun) and Nick Frost (Ed), whose friendship translates fantastically to a romantic comedy during a zombie apocalypse.

Filled with the same kind of humour (although they've sensibly toned down the quirkiness in order to broaden it's appeal) that made Spaced such a great TV show. The fact that a comedy like this can, at times, keep you on the edge of your seat more than serious zombie films says something about the standard of the average modern zombie film and a lot about the talent and quality of the writers, director and cast of Shaun of the Dead.

86? Does that make this my top Zombie picture ever? I think it might. I really enjoyed this one. I laughed out loud quite a few times, which is rare for me as I generally don't love comedies. Really smart, too, as I loved the message of how it's so easy to sleepwalk through life, to the point where we COULD miss the warning signs of such a catastrophe. Also, the "click click" of the disposable camera might be one of my favorite comedic gags of all time. MUCH more consistent than Hot Fuzz.

A great movie filled with laughs, and hilarity, I can't find much bad to say about this movie, and the only down side to it that I could think of is that there were no zombies on fire. A must see classic.

What can I say? Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg understand zombies. It's funny enough, as you'd expect from a comedy, but surprisingly it's also fantastic as a zombie movie. The long cuts are deceptively clever, and the film has the best opening 30 minutes of any zombie film in memory - introducing the tension and effectively (and subtly) escalating it before the whole thing explodes with violence. Worth seeing to any self-respecting zombie fan.

SHAUN OF THE DEAD makes it's mark by being the first truly funny, sometimes even charming, zombie flick! To compare it to other horrors it's probably best described as ZOMBIELAND / DAWN OF THE DEAD. Note: Simon Peg does for SHAUN OF THE DEAD exactly what Bill Murray does for ZOMBIELAND.

Clever spoof of zombie films (Romero's in particular) is made in loving homage while still functioning as one itself. Pegg and Frost are convincing and consistently amusing and almost everything works- even the serious, melodramatic end (which is a parody as well).

At the least, the cast has a ball toying with conventions while simultaneously working their comic and dramatic muscles. Little-known performers Frost, as the burly Ed; Ashfield, as the sweet Liz; and Wilton, as Shaun's shellshocked mom, stand out from the pack by creating memorably charming personas. This isn't the godsend motion picture many Internet geeks (a term used fondly) are touting it as, but it is intelligently wicked and bloodily appealing in an agile sort of way.

It's the funniest zombie film I've ever seen, but since I haven't seen that many zombie-comedies, that doesn't really mean much. This being said, it is a funny movie, the characters are lovable, the gore levels are where you'd expect them to be for a zombie-spoof film; the romance elements left me largely indifferent and there's nothing I'd class as horror here (unless gore equals automatic horror). All in all it's a very good comedy, though I wouldn't call it brilliant or "best of... ".

Very funny, indeed. I'm not a big expert on zombie-films in general so the intertextual references went straight past me, but what really surprised me in Shaun of the dead was that it felt like, that the Zombies were an allegory for something much deeper and complex - almost of an existentialistic character, which has to be very rare in films like this (or zombie-films in general).

Accomplishes exactly what it sets out to do: be a deliciously enjoyable, self-conscious and unabashedly gory guilty pleasure.

PetrosTser | 70 66th |
The first half is a mostly hilarious, very well-acted and excitingly directed comedy. The second part focuses more on action, which is very solid, and horror, which is genuine, despite the sense of ridiculousness that pervades the entire film. Unfortunately, although the script is brilliantly built on Romero's horror flicks, the story is at some point inevitably lead to a dead end. Still, there are many scenes to highlight and, overall, "Shaun of the Dead" is original and interesting throughout.

Shaun of the Dead is ultimately a successful comedy with pseudo-horror elements. It gets off to a great start, and slowly loses steam throughout. Its plot is fairly simple and straightforward, with the only real twist actually given away fairly early, as long as you pay close enough attention. It's not an amazing film by any means, but can still be a good way to waste an hour and a half of your life. It'll likely keep you fairly entertained, at least for the most part.

I found it quite good. The callbacks were very enjoyable, though sometimes they seemed to be put in just for the sake of it and perhaps they were overdone by the end of the film. You could maybe say that Wright and Pegg tried to put too much into this film, they wanted romance, horror, the apocalypse and comedy, not to mention all the wee references and callbacks, but they did very well nonetheless, perhaps the comedy was the one category that faltered the most, though perhaps that would be hars [Full Review]

As far as zombie comedies go, this is one of the best. It is short on cheap gags and heavy on character development. Like all good British comedy it is goofy at times and at others nearly profound. I'm not a huge fan of horror films, but this is easily one of my top 5 zombie movies of all time.

Parody at its finest. What Spaceballs did to Science Fiction, Shaun of the Dead does with Romero's stuff. It's a sidesplitting, intelligent comedy. I would make a "IT'S BETTER THAN ZOMBIELAND" but alas haven't seen Zombieland so I can't. But I would definitely watch it first. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost have great chemistry.

It's funny and it's got great action. Problem is that the main characters are all too stupid too live. I don't just mean in the 'panicked and made bad choices' way. I mean the kind of stupid where you look at them and think ' please get eaten by the zombies, it will be like chlorine for the gene pole'. And the way everyone had great big heartfelt confessions before dying just got tired real fast.

A love letter to the horror genre while also being an awesome blend of drama, romance, comedy, horror, and action.

Shaun of the Dead successfully mixes dark humor and romantic comedy on a highly original scale.

Small scale in presentation, but vast in implication, "Shaun Of The Dead" is not only absolutely hilarious, but it also manages to be intimately sweet, in a way I find hard to define, not only juggling an array of characters with varying and distinct motivations, but making them some of the funniest, most relatable protagonists in recent memory. A functionally perfect film, in every definable way.

Part social commentary on the dreary day-to-day of suburbanites, part romantic comedy, & part post-apocalyptic horror, this is one of the most unique zombie movies of all time that's aided immensely by the stylistic flair of Edgar Wright & the clever script alongside it. Strong performances, resonant emotional beats, laugh-out-loud gags, & plenty of gore in the mix too. It moves along at a steady pace, stays interesting throughout, & really commits to being different. Definitely a must-watch.

Seems to be satirical, reflective, and embracing of horror tropes all at the same time. An extremely well-written script with witty humor and a great take on the zombie genre. This team of people are extremely good at what they do.

One of the precious examples of dark humor from early 2000s.
