Shaun of the Dead
Oct. 11th, 2004 05:33 pmIf you haven't seen Shaun of the Dead yet, you must. That is, if you like zombie movies and British comedy. My lovely wife, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
azxure asked me before if it was a comedy or a zombie movie. I told her it is both. She said, it can't be both. She took back what she said after seeing it.
I was both a funny comedy and a great zombie movie. It was loaded with little tributes to all of the classics, both zombie movies and directors. There were some that I didn't even catch but my friend Docion, who went with us along with his fiance, caught without a second glance.
It had a very good story in that it wasn't just zombie fluff such as Resident Evil, House of the Dead *urgh* or even the new Dawn of the Dead. It actually showed the way I feel human interaction would change in that situation, albeit with some laughs thrown in.
You defintiely need to go see it. I think evenashbet would have fun at it. The effects are pretty graphic but they also poke a lot of fun at something that people are afraid of. This could be the one to get you over those irrational zombie fears.
I can't wait until I can get a copy of it for home. Hell, if I knew for sure that my region and code-free DVD player would work well enough, I would order it through Amazon.co.uk. Yes, it is already available on DVD in England. If you have the means to play it, you can get it here.
