I haven't been this impressed with the directing and script of a film for ages! A few years back, I read in a magazine article that attendance at the cinemas has decreased over the years because audiences are realizing that they can get the same caliber of entertainment (particularly romantic comedies) from TV. "Shaun of the Dead" puts movies back where they belong--as a respite to the garbage on mainstream American television. SOTD is an old-new kind of movie-making--a reminder of Hollywood's yesteryear where outstanding script and original direction is as it should be the bread and butter of the film industry.
I haven't laughed this hard at the movies or been moved emotionally for a long time. This film has it all. Don't let the title fool you--it's more than just a funny, campy film about zombies. It will touch you in more ways than you can imagine.
