Shaun of the Dead (DVD)

Rom-Zom-Com... what's it all about? [details]

You hit the nail on the head with this review. Most horror-comedies are embarrassingly bad, but Shaun of the Dead really worked.

I would just like to add that apart from the laughs and the gore, there are also a couple of surprisingly emotional scenes, for instance with Shaun and his step-father.

Hot Fuzz was a decent watch too if you liked Shaun Of The Dead

I haven't seen Hot Fuzz yet, but will make a point of doing so. (I liked Simon Pegg's style of humour long before he became well known).

Its killer... kinda starts slow then gets real twisted and has a bunch of splatter.
I thought it was a lot more clever the Shaun Of The Dead, it retreads a few things from that flick but stays fresh. Probably won't watch it again anytime soon but I recommend giving it spin for sure dude.

What'd he do before Shaun n' shit?

No films as far as I know, but he appeared in a several comedy programmes like Big Train (bizarre sketch show) and Spaced. Spaced was a similar sort of humour in that there were lots of references to cult things, old programmes, films etc.
