I was privileged to be one of the lucky folk to watch the film at this years FrightFest. What I was expecting to be a one joke movie turned into something very different. Nicely paced with terrific performances from the likes of Alan Ford, the film is full of dark humour, gore, and violence! A worthy nod goes to James Moran and Lucas Roche for their top notch script and a massive well done and thank you goes to Matthias Hone for giving us a fantastic addition to British Horror!

I saw it at the Fantasy Filmfest in Stuttgart yesterday. I went in knowing I would like it because - hey, has Alan Ford ever done anything I didn't like?
And I wasn't disappointed. It's nicely written, playing around with some tropes, but mostly comes to live through the Britishness of all of it, what I guess was what the director was aiming for (judging to his video message screened before the film - sadly he couldn't make it himself). Also the movie manages to present Michelle Ryan as extremely sexy in a pro-feminist way - cudos for that!

I liked Shaun up until the last 20-30 minutes when it went all serious and depressing. Had to look away at a certain character's death in this as well. But overall I liked it a lot.

Um. I think the change of tone in the last part of the film was a very clever move.
The real love affair is between Simon Pegg & Nick Frost
Yeah, it bounces us right back into the real life. but those subtle shifts in tone pop up, throughout the film.
That's what makes it so memorable - coming at us from left field, all the time. -

It's a great fun film. Watched it again on the Horror Channel last night. The gore isn't too heavy, even when
Clive dies
it's over with quickly. It also has two of my favourite lines in film, both spoken by Ray.
"No you soppy tart! Those things out there are effin zombies!"
"Oi! Zombies! Get the f out of my East End!"
