Shaun Of The Dead By shulockabaulugy on Oct 18, 2007 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

This is the best movie I have seen in a while. It's a comedy/horror film that does not rely on spoofing other zombie movies to get laughs. And you don't really need to have seen any zombie movie ever to enjoy this film. Shaun of the Dead is basically a generic zombie movie at heart. But the way they deal with it is totally different than a straightforward zombie movie. What makes Shaun of the Dead a gem is that even though it is a hilarious comedy (I laughed most of the way through) it also truly scares the audience on multiple occasions. Straight horror movies don't have the audience jumping as much as this one. I think that the fact that this movie is funny is what makes the scares more real. If zombies began attacking in real life it would happen like in Shaun of the Dead, it would be up to you and your loser buddy to start cracking skulls. And you know you'll be cracking zombie jokes along the way. So that makes this movie more real than most other horror films. And believe it or not but there are actually very moving scenes in this movie as well. Don't ask me how you can get truly moving scenes into a comedy/horror film, but they did it. Brilliant.
