Shaun of the Dead Reviews

beckerbuns I realized after I wrote this that "Zombieland" might just rival "Shaun of the Dead". But I stand by my statement. :)

dive_philospher gota stick to your guns man! (no pun)

gkruis What about real Zombie movies? I feel like these are just rip-off, farces, or homage... you don't like any real ones?

beckerbuns I do love classic type zombie movies but the comedy ones appeal to me more. Have not seen Dead Alive. Another one I like just came to mind..
Everyone was stuck in a mall and they were picking off zombies from the roof with a shotgun. Dawn of the Dead maybe?

fnoo That's Dawn of the Dead, yes. Although Night of the Living Dead is the origin of all modern zombie movies, Dawn is pretty much the defining picture that every subsequent zombie movie, comedy or otherwise, riffs off of or responds to in one way or another.

gkruis Dead Alive (Braindead) is epic oedipal Zombie trash. It's brilliant. And yes, very gross. Ever seen "I Walked with a Zombie?" It's a creepy older Zombie film that doesn't go for the mob-Zombie rule, but actually deals with the origins of the concept of Zombies and is set in the West Indies. Check it out!
