The June Challenge #50
Edgar Wright's directorial debut proper is a wonderfully funny and endearing zombie film with emotional moments that work far better than the might have were the film played straight.

Community's Zombie Halloween episode was a better execution of this idea, and in twenty-two minutes.

Witty and clever with squirts of blood. A hilarious zombie comedy.

Simply the best zombie movie since Romero's original DAWN OF THE DEAD, a stellar comedy in its own right, and a great deconstruction of genre tropes even as the film revels in them. The first chapter in Edgar Wright's thematically-linked "Cornetto Trilogy" is just so damn good, funny, and even occasionally heart-wrenching that it's a genuine shock that his later work is somehow EVEN BETTER.

My favourite romantic comedy and horror film. How's that for a slice of fried gold?

I've just realised how much this film relies on repetition. This is no bad thing, considering how much skill it requires to pull it off. On the surface and on first watch, you admire the fast pace and gory action, and most of the one-liners fly over your head. But on re-watches, there's many, many recurring lines that are funny for no reason. Example: The phrase "17" is repeated twice in completely irreverent situations. It amuses me. I don't know why.

The best slice of fried gold from Britain, that's for sure.

It's funny to think it's been almost 10 years since Edgar Wright unleashed his "romantic comedy - with zombies" on the world. 10 years later and it still feels fresh, funny, and just plain awesome.

One of my favorite Zombie movies of all time. It's perfection. It has the blood and gore, and has the humor.

pretty cool mate,........it has a lot of similarities with hot fuzz like with the cornetto and shit.............hilarious and a laugh

One of my favorites. A rare movie that manages to be a great spoof of horror movies and be a good horror movie in it's own Wright (pun!).

Absolutely amazing film. Can't find a fault in it, its funny, well written and has good actors and actresses in it. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost never fail to deliver. One of my favourite, and one of the greatest films of all time. Top British comedy.
