Review – Shaun of the Dead

George Romero once remarked that zombies are the working class of the monster world. Take that thought, move it to England, center it around a handful of semi-likable losers, and here’s what you get. Frequently clever and sometimes even subtle, the production comes across as a comedic tribute to Romero. Every once in awhile the plot starts to drag just a bit, particularly toward the beginning (okay we get it, the protagonist is a slacker with relationship problems). Overall, however, the movie may be savored as one of the rare times horror comedy has ever worked. Worth seeing
