I just got back from seeing Shaun Of The Dead. It's a great movie. I went in thinking that it would be a comedy, but I was shocked. It's an actual zombie movie. It has it's sad moments and terrible moments. And even one time when much like Night Of The Living dead, I wanted to shout out, "Oh, just shoot his a**!"
There were some shocking moments and many moments when I flinched in my seat. I didn't flinch out of shock. I flinched because of the whole situation.
Well, that and the special effects. They are great. There is one scene where they poke a hole through a zombie and then the zombie gets back up. Then they do the extreme camera shot where you actually look through the zombie. It was then I realized this wasn't a stoner comedy. It became a real movie. It even had its disgusting moments like when they showed one guy getting ripped apart while he was still alive.
When the movie started to wrap up, I thought, "Crap, this is going to end on a downer. I can't believe they are marketing this as a comedy." I was greatly surprised by the ending though. It has some nice emotional moments at the end and a great twist.
All in all, I'd have to say it is a great remake of Night Of The Living Dead. I know it wasn't intended to be, but since it came out, aren't all zombie movies just remakes of Night Of The Living Dead?
