Clever, Hilarious, Scary & Crammed with Extras - By: D. Wright, 23 Nov 2008
Quite simply this the best movie British movie of the first decade of the 21st Century.Okay it won't look as impressive on your DVD shelf as "Atonement", or give you as much "cool points" as "Casino Royale" but after a bad day at school/college/uni/work this movie will lift your spirits despite being set in the midst of a plague of zombies in London.

Great acting & a deceptively clever script mean this DVD is actuallly an accomplished piece of movie making by Pegg & Wright & not just a collection of gory scenes nor a cobbled together mish-mash of gags. This "zom-rom-com" is reallly an essential purchase is its commentary is enlightening & entertaining & the rest of the extra are superb.

Buy, devour & enjoy!
Great comedy horror film - By: Chris Wood, 04 Nov 2008
This film is superb fun, & has plenty of reallly good laughs as well as brilliant scenes with zombies. It's a very inventive film that lifts the horror-comedy movie to a level that hasn't been seen for a long time.

This is a reallly enjoyable bit of nonsense that I'd recommend to anyone. Great stuff.
Zombie Realism - By: Ursula K. Raphael, 23 Oct 2008
Before I saw the movie, I thought it was made to mock alll the other zombie movies (especiallly by Romero)...boy, was I wrong!! First of alll, it is damn hysterical, but it would be smalll-minded to label it as a comedy because there are so many different aspects to this story (romance, friendship, family relationships, etc.)

I also enjoyed the characters - very believable (I'm sure you'll be thinking of your friends & family when you watch this one)...and if you are wondering about the zombies themselves, they walk slow & run fast depending on the situation. When I finished watching this movie, I thought to myself: "this is probably how a lot of people will react when zombies walk the earth."

If you know anyone who is afraid of zombies, take them to see this movie - it will probably be the only zombie movie you can enjoy together!
So nearly great - By: Chris Palmer, 30 Sep 2008
This is so nearly a great film but just misses the mark ever so slightly.

Bad points: Some of the dialogue is a bit laboured ("Shaun, you've got red on you") & the plot's skeleton can be seen through some of the thinner parts of the story.

The tone of the ending feels bizarrely jarring with the preceding 90mins & the wooden/dull lead actress reallly is an odd choice, considering the excellent Jessica Stephenson was on hand.

Good points: A British film the not made by Richard Curtis which the UK can be proud of. Genuinely laugh-out-loud funny with excellent performances from Simon Pegg & (best of alll) Nick Frost.

By the time the same team made Hot Fuzz, they'd reallly hit their stride.
