Well, despite it’s amateur and ridiculous appearance in trailors, I quite enjoyed this extremely british comedy tribute to the zombie thriller. While 28 days Later is probably the best zombie movie of all time, this is definitely a worthy adaptation to spoofery.
Shaun is a dead end guy in a dead end job with a dead end girlfriend and dead end friends, spending every evening in the same dead end beer dive joint. He goes through the same routine and everything. It’s hilarious to me, because the first half hour is so ridiculously british. It has zombie thriller suspence, but at it’s heart it is simply an episode of Black Adder or M.P.
The actual interaction with zombies is when it gets good, complete with overly disgusting gore ala Dead Alive, and a hilarious musical number with the beating of a bartender zombie in unison with flashing lights and music, almost like a jetta commercial.
Overall, it’s hilarious with a great ending, and fun likeable british characters. A 2 for sure, but probably not worth owning.
