26	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.
14	eCitizen	80 _83rd
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.
12	matGuy3	10 _98th
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.
11	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.
8	JordanDcFc	90 _95th
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.
7	ozymandius10	85 _90th
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.
7	Luna6ix	86 _92nd
This is the first movie to truly meld together zombie movies and comedies, it does it seemlessly and without loosing any of the identity of either genre.
6	Ytadel	8 _93rd
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.
6	Jeb	98 _93rd
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.
5	joseywales	89 _96th
Brilliant acting and great writing fuel this comedic juggernaut's romp through a few different genres. Unmissable.
4	ServantDagon	97 _95th
Great romantic comedy that happens to have zombies in it. The monsters are taken completely seriously, the humor comes from the people involved.
4	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.
4	tinythedogg	100 _99th
One of the greatest horror comedies that I've ever seen, with excellent acting
4	Skenkere	90 _96th
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.
4	Suteupac	85 _94th
Easily one of the best comedy/horror in years. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are hilarious together and seem to feed off of one another. Ther's never a dull moment.
4	Falooza	85 _95th
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.
4	Shosanna	50 _93rd
Succeeds not only as a zombie comedy, but as a genuinely dramatic zombie film as well. How's that for a slice of fried gold? (5/5)
4	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.
3	fudgieb	85 _55th
So very very good. It takes the right person to appreciate this film. It takes a person with enough patience to endure a building tension...a building plot. Original, one of a kind. Wonderfully artistic, and hilarious.
3	SirVasil	85 _91st
Shaun of the Dead brings "fun" to the "funeral"! (Hahaha...)
3	StarSiren	90 _95th
Hilarious, scary, romantic and fun. What more could you ask for?
3	doctor7	85 _83rd
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.
3	BattleToad	95 _97th
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!
3	Jherman89	93 _96th
One of my favorite comedies.
3	PeaceAnarchy	83 _72nd
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.
3	MJVmovieMan	77 _74th
"Shaun of the Dead" brings the audience on a wacky gore-filled ride, and has a magnificent way of taking a 180-degree turn on zombie flicks, making this a very funny and (dare I say it?) warmhearted event to behold.
3	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!
3	sophie	95 _98th
One of my favorite zombie movies!
3	begoniabol	83 _84th
Pretty goddamn funny
3	Ocelot	70 _73rd
What a great movie. A perfect blend of action, comedy and drama combine to create one of the most enjoyable films of the 2000's. Pegg and Frost give delighting performances, the jokes are great and I don't think I've ever laughed as much at gore as I did during this movie. Honestly, this is just a really fun film to watch.
3	omgfridge	10 _97th
Best comedy of the decade. Actually scratch that, one of the best films of the decade. For me this is one of the most re-watchable films out there. Due to how absurd and clever it is, I can't say much more besides brainssssssssss.
3	ABUNCHOFCATS	94 _94th
Is it good or bad that a spoof of zombie movies is also one of the best zombie movies ever made?
3	Antagon	86 _98th
Charismatic cast, great humor, a dash of foreshadowing...this movie had it all!
3	mwgerb	77 _93rd
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.
3	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.
3	Coheed	80 _78th
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.
3	GordonBombay	60 _33rd
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.
3	Leonardis	94 _80th
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!
3	Ryan Lueders (ReelRyan)	97 _96th
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.
3	TjlMovFrks23	90 _82nd
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.
3	sopachuco13	100 _95th
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.
3	NBD Rab	85 _81st
A zombie parody that manages to be one of the most watchable zombie films ever.
3	Conor_C96	88 _94th
Genius movie. Both Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are fantastic in it. Brilliant humour.
3	joel-w-m	8 _81st
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).
3	TimeCapsule	95 _98th
The first and possibly strongest of the now heralded "Cornetto Trilogy", Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright pen a beautiful love letter to the zombie genre while telling a charming love story of their own.
2	Spitfire	75 _77th
I've always enjoyed the zombie film in the past. This movie just took that an energized it with a very fresh perspective. Very funny and very entertaining.
2	MartinTeller	85 _84th
Quite entertaining, everything was done right.
2	svicciarelli	90 _82nd
Great through and through. I literally laughed, screamed and cried (not in that order). A must see.
2	cellophane	98 _95th
Perfect in tone, timing, and gore, Shaun of the Dead is a comedic masterpiece. And a horror movie to be remembered.
2	Parmandur	72 _66th
A fun zombie comedy.
2	djross	45 _34th
Very middle-of-the-road, with characters devised in a rather by-the-numbers manner to appeal to a wide cross-section of audiences. Despite its essential conformism and conventionality, however, it nevertheless manages a few amusing episodes and some stylish moments.
2	StVeSa	95 _91st
Funny, violent and decent amounts of gore... Not much more you can ask when dealing with a Romantic Comedy... with zombies.
2	Kavu	95 _99th
Funny as hell, great performances by Pegg and Frost, superb directing by Wright.
2	lachapelle	93 _92nd
Slacker Comedy meets zombie horror flick! Wow! No really, Wow! This is a great movie. This is one of my all time favorite flicks. A must see. Simon Pegg is God.
2	grimsooth	84 _89th
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.
2	OctaneDose	80 _61st
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.
2	buggz79	85 _94th
Hilarious!
2	walkabout	90 _97th
probably the best 'genre parody' I have ever seen.
2	nutcrackr	70 _38th
It's alright, but it lacks a good deal of direction. Certainly some funny bits, but the finale loses bite when it tries to be semi-serious. At least it ends on a laugh.
2	mlightle3	100 _98th
The movie by which all future romantic zombie comedies will be compared.
2	Difontaine	87 _92nd
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.
2	Farzan	92 _92nd
I found this movie insanely hilarious.
2	warlock	88 _89th
A great combination of comedy and horror. It pays tribute to the Romero films while adding plenty of hilarity. Entertaining throughout!
2	Stain	100 _95th
George Romero's zombies show up in an English sitcom. Great mixture of humor and horror. Absolutely not to be missed if you're a fan of Romero's "Dead" series
2	frederic_g54	9 _90th
(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.
2	mistersplice	95 _99th
9+ amazing :: You don't have to be into zombie movies to enjoy it, but if you're a fan of the Romero films there is a ton of stuff that you will appreciate.
2	Matthias99	95 _93rd
Really, really funny.
2	Natzilla	95 _98th
Not only a well done comedy, but an excellent execution of a zombie movie too.
2	flatluigi	100 _94th
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.
2	Wiche	83 _85th
Just hilarious at certain moments. Totally unpredictable and incredibly wacky. I really love this situational humour. What to be thought of the LP-choosing-and-throwing scene. Marvelous!
2	evansjoy	94 _92nd
Hilarious!
2	geohawk	90 _78th
Delivers completely on its promises which are, well, much like those of Shaun, maybe not that much to begin with.
2	Langelund (CinemaZone.dk)	90 _94th
Best use of Queen-songs in a movie EVER. Yes, even better than in Flash or Wayne's World... And hey, the comedic awesomeness is almost equally satisfying.
2	somnivore	82 _44th
Well, I liked it more than actual zombie movies.
2	Fake Shemp	100 _99th
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]
2	Revolutiono	10 _99th
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.
2	moraesfelipe	85 _92nd
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.
2	pirateb	85 _80th
Anything that makes me overcome my hatred for zombie movies has to be good.
2	shitty	100 _95th
Hilarious!
2	ACHEWOOD	93 _91st
fun movie to watch
2	sharpcool	91 _97th
I loved this and I usually don't care about zombie movies.
2	Crim122	100 _90th
Zom Rom Com? Such a great movie, hilarious from start to finish with some awesome gore.
2	FantacBob	77 _92nd
One of my favourites. I agree with the other reviews but would add that it's worth watching several times.
2	johnshaft	76 _59th
A good script and charming characters help add to Shaun of the Dead's effect. The movie is more funny than scary, but it is funny.
2	lupister	58 _63rd
sounded awesome, was... weak as hell. And why did it turn into a drama for 1/3 of the movie?
2	Wonderboy	93 _79th
"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.
2	DustynDW	98 _98th
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.
2	SirStuckey	100 _99th
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.
2	aney	81 _88th
Insane! One of the best zombie movies ever.

I want to go to the Winchester.
2	jixby	93 _94th
I have an aversion to things that are Zombie-related on account of the fact that trashy people seem to think they're the bee's knees, but this movie is pretty fantastic.
2	netmonk	85 _58th
Enjoyable, chummy zombie-flick/zombie-parody, energetically and stylishly directed.
2	dumblond66	85 _77th
fabulously wonderful
2	chemtrails	75 _82nd
Really clever, good times
2	FrederikA	95 _98th
Slowly working its way up my personal favourite list. It's not just an incredibly funny genre-spoof, but a well-written, -structured, -paced and -filmed movie in its own right.
2	Supersvensk	100 _98th
Totally FUNNY! This movie is so fucking funny ill give it 100, only movie ill ever given 100 to.. Well, just the scene where they see the first Zombie is so hillarius.. "OMG!! She's soooo drunk hahah".. Love it.
2	Prismatic	94 _91st
2nd favorite comedy of the decade.
2	whiff	94 _85th
Really good zombie movie, different than others in many ways. Be prepared to be surprised, this zombies are not the ones you know
2	forehead1	80 _96th
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.
2	lukey86	94 _80th
This is certainly the funniest Zombie film ever, and it just might be the best one. A rare film that seems to get everything right.
2	GrindhouseX3	100 _88th
A comedy about zombies is simply pure genious, and the balance between the comedy and the horror is done so well in this movie that it deserved to have a cult following.
2	woodoo	90 _82nd
Practically every second it's on the screen, it's funny. Also "gets" the original Dawn of the Dead by being humorous and scary in equal measure.
2	markusLei	99 _99th
The movie. If there were such a thing as perfection, this'd be it.
2	flamina	85 _90th
Very funny film that successfully combines comedy and horror. A clever satire of zombie films with Simon Pegg and his always present co-star Nick Frost. Good acting, hailarious movie worth watching. Still manages to be scary at the same time!
2	Rising	88 _74th
A fantastic, hilarious take on the zombie genre. A must-see for anyone who loves zombie films.
2	shongfromrp	90 _85th
This isn't a zombie movie, zombies just happen to be in it. A great comedy and a great slice of life flick. The type of movie you'd never fail to sit and watch each time it gets re-aired on TV.
2	gcg1988	90 _51st
one of the best comedies of all time
2	ricardocosta	100 _96th
hlarious friggin hilarious. if you like zombie flicks you gotta see this one
2	starvin	90 _85th
Love these guys. This film is a classic. Hilarious and fun.
2	fuckeroo	95 _71st
I love zombies. I love comedies. Thus it stands to reason that i would enjoy a comedy about zombies. And i did.
2	nikedmondson	98 _98th
Perhaps the most original take on comedy and parody for its time. A modern comedy classic that will be remembered and exampled through film history.
2	redacted	93 _95th
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.
2	DaHai401	90 _95th
funny, heart-warming, pitch perfect
2	tritwo1	96 _61st
A funny, tasteful parody on the zombie subgenre that respectfully includes the social commentary that is employed in zombie films which inspired it.
2	gorejunky	100 _92nd
Absolutely one of my favorite of the horror comedy genre. This has it all--it's hilarious, full of action, great zombies and is lots of fun. This is the kind of film you can watch over and over again.
2	dunbar	90 _93rd
Fantastic and hilarious film. A clever satire on the zombies within human society, but really just sit back and laugh at it from your zombiefied position on the couch. A great spoof of zombie horrors to boot.
2	Piddles	89 _73rd
Not only is this movie amazingly funny, it's...actually, a pretty fantastic zombie movie.
2	svnhf	85 _82nd
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?
2	Jerky	95 _99th
What I love most about this film is all the fore-shadowing in the script, and then the call back to earlier things later on. Not enough fore-shadowing in films these days.
2	jhook	100 _99th
A movie with which I can find no flaws.
2	flashsamurai	96 _87th
The first and best zomcom. It is so clever and original, after seeing it my first time, I re-watched it again. Pegg, Frost, and Wright were made for each other.
2	CMonster	90 _93rd
If there was a movie that I would have sex with that wasn't a porno, it would probably be this. But I'm also a necrophiliac so I may be sort of biased.
2	KramYessev	83 _94th
Still as great as I remember, except now I can appreciate the references to classic horror flicks, like the resteraunt being called 'Fulci's'. Also tied with 'Land of the Dead' for the last great zombie movie. 'Claims that the virus was caused by rage-infected monkeys have been dismissed as total bullshit.'
2	Paxton	85 _93rd
Edgar Wright decided to win me over immediately with this film and he hasn't let go yet.
2	hsncrspywl	91 _91st
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.
2	thinkalot	89 _83rd
funny, good laugh - really brit and very good soundtrack. need six pack and couple of buddies to watch this one.
2	tonytouch	100 _98th
I can't think of a single reason not to give this 100.
2	brandons	91 _92nd
Shaun of the Dead cleverly balances scares and witty satire, making for a bloody good zombie movie with loads of wit.
2	girlonfire	85 _93rd
A fantastic mix of romance, comedy, drama and horror and a great partnership between Simon Pegg and Nick Frost.
2	Nerd Queen	88 _53rd
I love the way Edgar Wright blends genres to examine relevant themes. Although the comparison of zombie to contemporary society is not new, Wright makes it entertaining and accessible.
2	DesertPunk	85 _87th
Is it even possible to dislike this movie? You can never listen to Queen seriously again after.
2	mekuhn41	95 _94th
Breathes new life into the zombie genre. Scary and funny, a one of a kind movie.
2	SweetMortal	98 _91st
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.
2	magdabag	92 _85th
This Has Got To Be My Favorite Zombie Movie Ever!!Its Got Laughs And Blood.Its Brilliant,Very Well Done.
2	actlikealady	90 _91st
What's not to love? The zombies look great, the humor is humorous ("zed word") and there are parts that stick with you. I just happen to love it even more because it's British.
2	TheEscapist	81 _90th
Brilliant film, great performances from an excellent cast. Hilarious film with some great action as well. Highly recommended!
2	Alex WS	83 _89th
Great blend of comedy and zombies.
2	LookJabba...	9 _91st
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.
2	Davidson	90 _85th
This is the type of film you can watch dozens of times without getting tired of it. The film is filled with so many subtle jokes that even after watching this film a countless number of times since it's release, I'm still discovering funny things they added in.
2	wutangpaul	100 _96th
Flawless British comedy. Infinitely rewatchable.
2	JMac525	90 _80th
This movie is absolutely hilarious. It is an excellent spoof on the zombie film and actually provides a few intense moments along with the laughs. A great film indeed.
2	Pigwickle	100 _97th
Loved this movie! Definitely one of my favorite movies of all time. This was the first movie I have watched that adds the comedic side to the usual, "I will eat your brains, zombie!' way cool and a must see. If you have amovie library this should be added to it immediately.
2	RollBones67	100 _97th
My all-time favorite zombie film, and that's pretty hard to decide! It's funny because it combines two genre's that have nothing to do with each other (Zombie Movies, Romantic Comedies) and still succeeds on so many levels!
2	kw161484	95 _70th
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.
2	zmoats	86 _75th
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.
1	JohnnyDime	95 _98th
A modern classic. Combines zombie terror, social commentary and humor into a entertaining blend.
1	syzygy	89 _77th
A wonderful mix of British comedy and zombie hijinx.
1	pinbackblue	100 _98th
Seriously the best zombie flick out there. It manages to be hilarious and frightening at the same time.
1	McWop	100 _97th
Perfection
1	thelastdayx	80 _54th
Very clever, hilarious spoof on "Dawn of the Dead".
1	AgentSnipe	94 _99th
Brilliant. Simply brilliant. It's not a zombie spoof in any way. It takes the conventional zombie story and creates a story that's referential, self-actualizing, and downright hilarious.
1	terror	86 _66th
such a funny movie! A real pleasure to watch!
1	Perrin2534	73 _68th
I'm a pretty big fan of zombie flicks. So when you joke around about them, I'm gonna love it.
1	TheDenizen	80 _84th
Very funny. The best romantic comedy set during a zombie apocalypse ever.
1	monkeycat	89 _91st
This film combines two of my greatest loves; Queen and Zombies. Awesome
1	Octopusnarc	94 _95th
One of the best zombie films, and a comedy to boot!
1	johnwun	76 _57th
The BRILLIANT part of this film is the beginning where Shaun walks around town doing his thing completely oblivious to the fact that the thw world as he knows it has completely transformed around him. A perfect parable for the modern man. A++
1	chow25	89 _87th
Really funny and entertaining.
1	irvinejump	90 _95th
I've got a feeling this will be my life story, Fucking awesome!
1	CitizenX	65 _72nd
good fun, as hot fuzz, simon pegg and nick frost are just an incredible team
1	lrampartl	96 _98th
It's fucking awesome, that's why.
1	Slowking2099	88 _83rd
Great fun. There's a lot of wrong ways to do a zombie/comedy but this one did it right.
1	djfntstque	63 _32nd
Overrated!
1	Pickpocket	10 _98th
Love this movie. Edgar Wright instantly became someone I would watch anything by after this film. Hilarious, touching, and strange. Very enjoyable.
1	dantes808	93 _93rd
This is the funniest horror film since Army of Darkness! Great comedy mixed with great horror, all the while copyiing from every horror film and improving upin it. A must see for anyone looking to laugh and dead persons' expense
1	FlorVdE	1 _18th
Considering the fact that I loved "Hot Fuzz" and the universal critical acclaim this got I was gravely let down. Nothing particulary awful about this, but every attempt at humor was extremely obvious and the drama/horror didn't really work.
1	DougKnows	97 _97th
Three cheers for Shaun!!! This movie is fantabulous! So many different elements all brought together wonderfully to make a true zombie classic that is actually honest about what it is. Anyone who doesn't fall in love with this movie is a fool, it is exactly what it was meant to be, and done just as it should have been.
1	drewrocks34	99 _98th
It proved to me that British Humor didn't all suck.
1	dries	90 _93rd
Great movie! In a class of it's own.
1	driscarpin	88 _84th
Estou boquiaberta com a sequência do Queen até agora, é engraçada, dramática, politicamente anárquica e deliciosamente musical tudo ao mesmo tempo, o filme todo é excelente, mas esse trecho se superou em genialidade.
1	JawlessJoe	96 _94th
GREAT. I am a zombie fan, so this is A tops for me
1	weirdyoda	96 _96th
Brilliant satire of Zombie films and romantic comedies and life. Awesome Brits.
1	madiso	80 _96th
frikin funny
1	Cowman	70 _56th
Very good and funny start, but it loses some momentum towards the end when the comedy is replaced by generic action and some uninteresting romance.
1	Big_Mac	85 _87th
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.
1	vlmecc	88 _91st
Very amusing!
1	Grit	92 _98th
Fantastic film, a genius comedy piss-take from the people behind the sitcom Spaced which frequently far surpasses the Romero films it aims to reference. Still can't be beaten for those seeking pure entertainment from an off the wall comedy.
1	martryn	90 _93rd
A great zombie movie, and a great comedy. All and all a marked success.
1	JooJoo	5 _80th
Exceeded my expectations as a parody and an effective zombie flick of its own.
1	Mini-T	87 _78th
Hilarious. Great humor with a great Simon Pegg , but laughed the most with Nick Frost. Amazingly funny to see how they try to survive in the midst of all the zombies.
1	juice	85 _97th
Pure Genius
1	0012	91 _88th
A great parody that exceeds the genre and becomes a genuinely engaging and touching film.
1	jetjaguar	90 _75th
A great homage to zombie cinema that manages to poke fun at the movies while also being one of them. There are no gags; the comedy is entirely character-based, and that much richer for it.
1	Boobjuice	80 _80th
Funny and genuinely touching in parts. Simon Pegg is deliriously likable.
1	Hyp3r10n	90 _92nd
Brilliantly hilarious take on zombie films
1	jonquill	93 _94th
Okay, how many genres can you slam into a movie and still have it congeal into a solid film. I think Shawn set the record.
1	lydia69	100 _97th
A fun romantic comedy with zombies. It doesn't get any better than this!
1	Icarus	75 _49th
Good silly fun. Makes for an enjoyable evening with friends. Offers some clever moments, fun parallels in the writing, though it occasionally overstays its welcome.
1	samanthadext	100 _82nd
Hilarious and dead-on parody
1	BudLeonard	100 _94th
A perfect movie.
1	spacefloh	78 _93rd
ger; shaun wird in seiner alltagsroutine durch plötzlich auftauchende zombies gestört, die er also bekämpft
1	Cubal	100 _97th
Wonderful take on the George Romero zombie apocalypse. The humor truly nails it while certain zombies makes us cringe.
1	harlotbrains	100 _94th
romantic comedy with zombies!!! YES.
1	hellsditch	88 _90th
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.
1	youtellme93	100 _97th
WATCH. THIS. MOVIE.
1	John Locke	98 _94th
So, so good.
1	joyp	100 _96th
nothing wrong with this movie. you've got red on you.
1	GiJin	95 _97th
An almost perfect movie. Pure genius, Hilarious! Simone Peg is awesome.
1	miss jesus	75 _76th
An impressively skilled combination of genres, but much too heavy on the horror now and then for my taste. Zombies always freak me out. :(
1	tomoscaradog	92 _92nd
Brilliant homage to the classic Romero movies, that more than holds its own in the genre. A subtle blend of sharp, funny dialogue and extreme violence.
1	frailmage	100 _95th
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.
1	TangVampire	100 _93rd
There is nothing bad to say about this movie. One of my favorites.
1	sork	40 _29th
I laughed a few times.
1	ninja	89 _29th
dont stop me now
1	muzak66	85 _78th
Good movie and very funny, why did it take me so long to see this?
1	calharding	90 _90th
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.
1	TheRealJ-Ro	90 _93rd
Anything that Simon Pegg, Edgar Wright and Nick Frost touch turns to gold.
1	kendramiller	100 _95th
one of the best.....ever.....
1	TV+Film-Hub	19 _81st
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.
1	hstephen9	100 _93rd
Best Zombie movie ever.
1	tathiel	83 _79th
Great Zombie comedy, yet not as good as Hot Fuzz. But since this is before Hot Fuzz, it would mean that things can only get better!
1	Delirium9	100 _93rd
Simon Pegg is adorable. And funny as hell. Still, loved him better in "Spaced."
1	Lebar	81 _84th
smack him in the head...
1	Neonman	41 _3rd
I don't know why, but I really can't get into this sort of humour, even though its British. For me, this film is a real let-down and I hate even thinking about what a bore it is to me.
1	Peewee	98 _98th
godly
1	UniqueName	88 _85th
As a horror movie spoof this is one of the best there is, witty, sarcastic, and zombie-rific. A little dry it's rewatchability is a little low.
1	cult_of_same	55 _63rd
Zombie yay! Humour yay! Accents yay!
1	clawx	90 _92nd
pretty funny stuff.
1	Kalmah7	84 _80th
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).
1	PennyLaneAF	90 _80th
Witty, clever and totally British!
1	eric-jan	75 _74th
Very funny movie. aka Dawn of the Dead softcore.
1	fsl_hero	92 _82nd
Hilarious and scary at the same time, Shaun of the Dead is a brilliant zombie spoof with intelligent humor and equally scary sequences. A must watch.
1	Pepsi-Man	3 _74th
These guys put so much heart into their films. And there are probably a lot of hearts falling out of guys in this film.
1	letskillrobots	24 _70th
Very 2004
1	casawarry	90 _88th
Great comedy, mega funny.
1	Haha	66 _35th
Funny, but loses its impact if you aren't a horror fan. Hit or miss jokes. Great ending though. Drags a lot.
1	ivyt	60 _51st
I personally think this is overrated, even though it can be likeable in some parts. Its has a few plotholes and the zombie violence isn't the greatest, and the British humour never did it for me, so yeah. There's my review.
1	carnageace	80 _57th
Well made and funny, Pegg's first true film is also his finest yet.
1	JacoIII	43 _73rd
One of my favourite comedies from the 2000s. Not as great as Hot Fuzz but still definitely worth watching.
1	Ryanscoomer	60 _52nd
I hate this guy and I don't even know his name. But I saw this and it was allright.
1	Samson0o	85 _83rd
Instant classic.
1	nauru	64 _63rd
Pretty good zombie comedy, much better than Zombieland anyway. Well shot, strong editing and great soundtrack. The acting is also surprisingly good.
1	Grinspork	80 _84th
British Zombedy!
1	Coasterollie	96 _65th
One of my favourite films ever. Everything about it is perfect. Acting,scripting, filming, direction, sound, lighting. All of its perfect and it's such a funny film.
1	pianoo	75 _78th
fun fun and more fun.
1	ezackheim	89 _59th
Zombies are funny, and someone finally realized it!
1	smacfarl	85 _44th
Funny, but runs out of steam about half way through. Good idea needed more writing.
1	ediblenapalm	63 _51st
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.
1	Piglet	74 _75th
Great fun whith tons of cultural referenses. Fun fun fun!
1	Isaac	88 _61st
Big fun for every zombie movie fan
1	Giuseppe	78 _73rd
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... ".
1	oldgoat	84 _90th
Silly, campy, actually scary at times.
1	jclim00	8 _64th
A downright fun take on zombie movies. Enjoyable the whole way through with a hilarious cast. I've never cheered so much at the death of one character in a movie before.
1	vincentvega	92 _75th
Very funny take on zombie movies. Generic, I know, but it's just how I feel.
1	freqflyer	85 _83rd
Very funny! Perfect blending of laughs and chills.
1	Okkervil	71 _70th
I don't have quite the hard-on for it some do, but it's a lot fun. Prefer "Spaced" and "Hot Fuzz" if I'm honest.
1	michaelsykes	90 _93rd
Not only succeeds but excels at all it aims to do.
1	Shager	89 _77th
Two types of movies i love, Comedy and Zombies.
1	krushgroove	100 _80th
The perfect zombie comedy!
1	gigafide	85 _34th
With gross-out zombie movies invading the box office around 2004, this movie was a most welcome break from all of the gloom and doom. I normally don't rank comedies too high, but this is a perfect mix of comedy and what you'd expect from a zombie film.
1	Undermind_M	70 _52nd
Funny AND gory, an odd combination in my mind. I enjoyed this, but I don't feel any burning need to see it again.
1	gplayer	75 _20th
Great zombie-flick, quite a few laughs, plenty of action. It goes perfectly with some popcorn/beer.
1	spookymari	65 _44th
Pretty funny, actually.
1	leekenn	65 _39th
Worth watching for some rather funny bits but ultimately not as good as Hot Fuzz, and you might as well only see one.
1	kitchen867	75 _84th
Very stylish and well made zombie comedy. Fun to watch is right. Starts to run on low once they get to the pub.
1	jmarkthespot	90 _93rd
The bar scene where Queen pops on is easily one of the best moments of my life.
1	Ruslandgaga	87 _41st
Really funny. Can't wait for the last part of the trilogy.
1	Guillaume	78 _72nd
Funny as hell, sometimes a little bit too simple. I think I like Hot Fuzz better, has some more story in it and more funny referencing to the movie genre.

I loved the Simon Pegg / Nick Frost duo in Hot Fuzz and I loved it in Shaun of the Dead. The movie's a tiny bit scary, but most of all it's funny, hilarious and charming. Long live the British humor ;). I'm normally not really into zombies, nor flicks, nor zombie flicks, but this was so much fun. I especially loved the ending. Go Ed! :D

Overrated. May be funny at some scenes, but overall its just another comedy... Quite opposite of public opinion.

Funny! Smart too. Worth a watch. you might even show it to a friend afterwards.

Zombies are a fucking stupid monster, but this movie is fun regardless.
1	Tjekhov	70 _69th
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).

Mistakes - 1) When Ed drives Phil's Jaguar, its rearview mirror disappears and reappears repeatedly. 2) At John's pub, when Liz has a look at Barbara's bloody wound, it is about 2" above her left wrist, but when Shaun lifts his mum's sleeve, it's about 6" above her left wrist.

I love Zombies and I love British humour so this was win win for me.

i quote this film in day to day life, so much so that it makes me wonder how my life might be like if i hadn't seen it.
1	creely	90 _60th
Wright's kinetic and rapid-fire directing technique is on full show here and makes the film wholly enjoyable. A zombie film with an overarching romance plot line - brilliant and unusual.
1	Rufam	75 _72nd
Accomplishes exactly what it sets out to do: be a deliciously enjoyable, self-conscious and unabashedly gory guilty pleasure. The characters are memorable (especially that of Pegg, who turns in a terrific performance), the humor is crudely brilliant and brimming with references and there are even a couple of emotional moments. Wow.
1	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.

A great laugh. Wonderful zombie parody. Bloody scenes sometimes loses the balance between `funny disgusting` and `disgusting`.

Clever and funny.

1	Red_Falcon_	85 _94th
A great zombie film that is equal parts funny and bloody.I found myself laughing at the absolute absurdity of so much of this film.The subtle commentary of how most of us go through life unaware of what's going on around us was cool and spot on.
1	Matthew Parkinson (CineMarter)	80 _89th
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.
1	hellboy76	85 _96th
Excellent, not every in joke is shoved down your throat, and Pegg and Frost are always good together.
1	Noblet	80 _70th
Very good blend of zombie movie parody and romance. Pegg and Frost are an entertaining duo.
1	li0li	75 _64th
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]
1	vahidtr	66 _34th
the viewer in this movie is confused about the genre . the combination of comedy and horror with great act of Simon Pegg leaded to a wonderful film in zombies .
1	mauldin8302	79 _36th
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.
1	davisty69	86 _71st
funny as hell
1	Lord Moe	89 _82nd
A great parody of the zombie genre, as well as fun commentary on the human race as a whole.
1	guy piranha	75 _81st
this is one of the few times you don't actually need to be a zombie-fanboy (which i am) to enjoy a zombie movie. it accurately spoofs the known clichés and introduces some really weird stuff, setting off another wave of revamps in the somewhat complacent genre. but why dire straits?! i really like 'em!
1	Antares	59 _23rd
I counted three laughs during this one, with most of the stuff laying an egg. I probably would have liked it more if I were one to watch the genre they're spoofing.
1	GreatScott85	92 _80th
A hugely clever, hilarious genre mashup.
1	Scorpus	84 _80th
Shaun of the Dead has got to be the funniest zombie film ever made

Incredibly funny and perfectly directed. Very enjoyable movie.

1	RandallODim	95 _97th
Shaun of the Dead is the best story about growing up, accepting responsibility, and breaking out of the rut you're trapped in in life. Oh and I guess there are zombies in it too.
1	Fresh	91 _78th
Shaun of the Dead cleverly balances scares and witty satire, making for a bloody good zombie movie with loads of wit.
1	TheDailyNathan	68 _27th
Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg's followup movie, The World's End, is basically a better and remastered version of this movie. Similar premise and plot, and the acting and jokes are more polished all around in the newer movie. Not so bad in its own right, but I didn't find it very memorable.
1	Sience	60 _57th
If you loved Spaced you'll love this - the style and humour of Pegg and Wright is largely unchanging.
1	ZachReviews	97 _93rd
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.
1	moviebuff18	90 _70th
Not usually a fan of this genre, but the comedy was "dead on." haha. Also had some amusing plot twists and good momentum. Hot fuzz was classic, too, and reminded me of Arsenic and Old Lace.
1	WulfstanLee	70 _63rd
I enjoyed this and love Pegg, though the first 30 or so minutes is substantially wittier than the last hour or so (both in performances and direction). Once we get into full-on zombie fighting, this started to drag.
1	myfavchords	82 _83rd
This movie certainly puts a smile on my face every time I watch it. It is a fun zombie movie was some funny characters and scenes. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost work really well together. I highly recommend this fun zombie flick.
1	jnsoneji	90 _59th
Funny British comedy
1	kru	95 _95th
Frost and Pegg at their finest.
1	YoSaff	92 _89th
One of my absolute favourites, able to jump between horror, comedy and tragedy within the space of a minute, always a sign of brilliant writing. The direction is equally proficient, the one-take shots of Shaun going to the convenience store showing an incredible amount of courage for a first time director.
1	Merv_Taylor	90 _74th
Great, but its mood swings wildly toward the end
1	Dash	80 _80th
Humorous zombie movie that was pulled off fantastically, with great jokes, believable characters, and zany action.
1	BleachD	85 _62nd
A hilarious spoof of the whole zombie film phenomenon.
1	Bagarbjorne	75 _86th
And then we will all sit down and have a nice cup of tea! Zombiemovie, British style!
1	Ag0stoMesmer	4 _91st
I wasn't impressed the first time I saw it but have since been won over/worn down thanks to it's ubiquity in tv schedules.
1	Uhrmacher	85 _50th
Pegg's breakout role for US audiences, a peculiar but enjoyable comedic British take on the zombie apocalypse.
1	talonmalon	82 _63rd
Shaun of the Dead takes the endless zombie genre and puts a great satirical spin on it. Funny movie.

While the first part of the movie is very clever and enjoyable, it eventually descends into something different, where people getting eaten by zombies matters more than any other element of the film.
1	natehill88	82 _66th
The kind of comedy that anyone can enjoy, but the real fans of this are also going to the fans of horror films. I think Zombieland did a great job at this kind comedy as well, but something about "Shaun" works better.
1	DyanneThorne	64 _52nd
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.

I don't know why people love this very much but I don't hate it either.

Shaun of the Dead cleverly balances scares and witty satire, making for a bloody good zombie movie with loads of wit.
1	LizF27	90 _43rd
I am huge fan of Zombie movies and shows and this was by far the best comedic zombie movie I have seen. In my opinion Simon Pegg hit another one out of the park.
1	Pyrrho	95 _74th
Laugh out loud and brilliantly subversive, this is a loving homage to horror and all it's facets. Written with supreme expertise and acted perfectly. Debuts don't come much better than this.
1	thoughtknot	88 _61st
A must see if you're in to the zombie genre
1	tgump89	85 _45th
It just so funny.
1	andreaslutro	80 _78th
A lighthearted, comedic zombie movie. Nothing more, nothing less, just done extraordinarily well.
1	BadFurDay	3 _12th
It had some amusing bits, but was mostly boring and uneventful. Zombie movies are bad enough without trying to be funny.
1	equivoke	89 _59th
Very funny, with sendups of various foibles scoring consistently.
1	VorpalKitten	85 _75th
Pretty solid comedy, the cinematography really makes it shine more than the writing of the jokes.
1	RYM	73 _80th
3.65/5
1	Corbad	75 _67th
Script, acting, editing, sound, musicit all comes across like the whole filmmaking team, who must still be fast friends, had a lot of fun. An entertaining, clever little film.
1	MovieFarts	8 _77th
Zombies smell, farts smell. The analogy is pretty self explanatory.
1	Monisit	100 _98th
A love letter to the horror genre while also being an awesome blend of drama, romance, comedy, horror, and action.
1	bratings	92 _86th
Shaun of the Dead successfully mixes dark humor and romantic comedy on a highly original scale.
1	SageSledge	100 _91st
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.
1	RLCreamer	85 _33rd
I laughed all the way through.
1	PianoSama	70 _82nd
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.
1	vv238	92 _96th
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.
1	hssnozdagg	81 _74th
One of the precious examples of dark humor from early 2000s.
