Shaun of the dead!!!

CrispyXUK · 11-04-2004, 9:40 PM

Saw this last night, and must say that it is one of the most enjoyable films I have seen in a while, funny, gorey & even scarey/jumpy too a must see.

Also much better than either of the Dawn of the dead films IMHO

Well i saw it yesterday and wished I hadn't. Thought it was actually pretty crap. One touching bit and one joke. Save your money and go buy a Cornetto instead.

Maybe you should have seen Scooby-Doo 2 instead

Gordon @ Convergent AV · 12-04-2004, 11:34 AM

Well it's on my list......Shawn was OK but not the genius of Bristish Film industry that it seems to be being made out to be in the media nad the press

I hope that was a joke

Saw the film last night and has to be one of the funniest films I have seen in a long time and seeing as everyone in the cinema (was packed) was also laughing just as hard as me I dont think I was alone in thinking it was funny lol

Gordon @ Convergent AV · 12-04-2004, 2:59 PM

There were six folk in the cinema I saw it in. Perhaps that was part of the problem.

Saw this today and thought it was very funny. Well worth seeing.

Not that swearing bothers me, but I was a bit surprised it was just a 15. For the level of gore and swearing, including the C word and many, many F words, I would have thought it should be a definite 18.

MartinImber · 12-04-2004, 7:25 PM

I liked Spaced - will I like this?

Madskilzz · 12-04-2004, 7:30 PM

Hell yeah Martin.....this is one seriously funny film.

Fans of Spaced will love it.

12-04-2004, 8:19 PM

i really enjoyed it. A very funny film, it is about 15minutes too long mind you.

The budget or lack of it does tell in places but overall highly recommended if you fancy a good laugh

CrispyXUK · 12-04-2004, 8:34 PM

the Zombies where far better than that of DOTD 04 even with the restricted budget though, and the 'Day of the dead' scene looked great.

MartinImber · 12-04-2004, 9:40 PM

I not coming from the zombie angle but from the Spaced angle. I'll put it on my to buy list.

I expect there will be a commentary!!!!

alle v · 13-04-2004, 8:56 AM

...Lighten up Gordon. It was a great film and very funny :D

eviljohn2 · 13-04-2004, 12:10 PM

I'm with Gordon, it was an OK film but nowhere near as good as it's being made out to be.

Gordon @ Convergent AV · 13-04-2004, 12:34 PM

I went to see it on Saturday, and expected a lot. (I'm a fan of Spaced and a zombie extra) But, I was still pleasantly surprised.

I can't remember the last time I laughed out loud so much at a cinema. And as a fan of classic zombie films (especially the original Dawn of the Dead), this definitely treats the genre with respect.

seany · 19-04-2004, 7:50 AM

Me and her in doors are huge spaced fans. But you dont have to have watched spaced to love this film. It has to be one of the best british films made in years.

CrispyXUK · 19-04-2004, 9:32 AM

How long till the DVD release?

19-04-2004, 4:38 PM

thought about seeing this.. is it better to see DOTD first? as i have not seen the original nor the new release

cheers

**Greg** · 19-04-2004, 9:28 PM

I have not seen Spaced or any of the Dawn of the dead films and I still enjoyed this film a lot.

richard plumb · 20-04-2004, 7:43 AM

I haven't seen any zombie film apart from Resident Evil (sorry), and I liked SOTD a lot. Big fan of Spaced though.

seany · 20-04-2004, 8:20 AM

You dont have to have watched DOTD.

20-04-2004, 10:21 AM

You can definitely enjoy this film without having seen the original Dawn, but there's quite a few little touches that fans of the original (and Romero's classics) will get a kick out of.

Incredibly raving review here at AICN as well.
