Shaun of the Dead: HD DVD Review

A romantic zombie comedy that tips its hat to George Romero and mines one very funny spoof that doesn’t ignore the rules of the zombie horror genre--though it does tamper with them.

Britain is lovingly skewered here, with director Edgar Wright suggesting that its living citizens really aren't so different from the living dead.

The film's co-writer and star, Simon Pegg, has a winning sense of the arcane. His co-star, Nick Frost, is a likeable boob. For those seeking something different, "Shaun of the Dead" hits different out of the pub.

Grade: B+.
