Film Threat, Hollywood's Indie Voice

Shaun of the Dead" is a must own DVD. To call this movie an "instant classic" is an understatement. The ability of Edgar Wright (Writer, Director) and Simon Pegg (Writer, Actor) to combine two potentially unmergeable genres is brilliant. ...read the complete Shaun of the Dead movie review at Film Threat, Hollywood's Indie Voice

Film Threat, Hollywood's Indie Voice

In my experience itâ��s usually unwise to watch a movie for a single image, scene, or exchange of hilarious dialogue as seen in a preview. ...read the complete Shaun of the Dead movie review at Film Threat, Hollywood's Indie Voice

ReelViews (James Berardinelli)

Shaun of the Dead is a spoof, but at the same time, it's a semi-serious horror movie. It's also an homage to George Romero's Dead series (Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead) and a societal commentary. ...read the complete Shaun of the Dead movie review at ReelViews (James Berardinelli)

This is an unusual source of entertainment. ...read the complete Shaun of the Dead movie review at ReelViews (James Berardinelli)

Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

As movie characters, zombies are boring by definition: All they can do is shuffle, moan, catch up with much faster people, and chew on their arms. ...read the complete Shaun of the Dead movie review at Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

The Cinema Source (Daniela Chunga)

Ever wonder if you’re stuck in the same dead-end routine? I bet everyday you start your day the same exact way: Wake up, get dressed, go to work, get aggravated with co-workers, head back home, slip into something comfortable, eat dinner, watch some...read the complete Shaun of the Dead (2004) review at The Cinema Source (Daniela Chunga)

Appreciating Great Trash

I’m typically wary of films with cheap puns in their titles, and I still think Shaun of the Dead could use a less cheeky moniker, but this popular British import is certainly not the slight parody I was expecting: actually, of all the films of this...read the complete Shaun of the Dead (2004) review at Appreciating Great Trash

Slant Magazine

The late 20-something human characters in the film are so self-centered and lazy that they hardly notice the flesh-eating zombies that infiltrate their section of North London. Shaun (Simon Pegg) is hung up on his girlfriend Liz (Kate Ashfield), who has...read the complete Shaun of the Dead (2004) review at Slant Magazine

Cinescape

You might say that 2004 was very much the Year of the Zombie. When was the last time that more than one zombie movie was playing in theaters at the same time? Once a weedy, poorly maintained patch in cinema's horror garden, the Living Dead sub genre ala...read the complete Shaun of the Dead (2004) review at Cinescape
