Shaun of the Dead [Blu-ray]

Posted on March 7th, 2010 by Blu Ray Players Reviews

There comes a day in every man’s life when he has to get off the couch…and kill some zombies. When flesh-eating zombies are on the hunt for a bite to eat, it’s up to slacker Shaun (Simon Pegg) and his best pal Ed (Nick Frost) to save their friends and family from becoming the next entrée. Novelist Stephen King gushes Shaun of the Dead is “a 10 on the fun meter and destined to be a cult classic” and Newsweek calls it “a bloody hoot!” It’s a screamingly hilarious zomedy that will have you dying with laughter.

5 Stars Smarmy
Love this movie. British humor is not for everyone. Frankly it’s intelligent humor and quite sarcastic and irreverent. If you can hang with the british sarcasm, you’ll LOVE this movie

5 Stars Killing zombies has never been funnier.
You know from the opening credits that this movie is going to be a classic. The 3 headed zombie beating to the Queen song is one of the greatest scenes in the movie. Hilarious and clever throughout.

4 Stars Why do Zombies move in slow motion?
4 of 5 stars for the creepy sci-fi movie Shaun of the Dead. I started watching this movie with low expectations (look at the cover, come on…). As it started, I was prepared to be disappointed. So meet Shaun a male air-head drifting thru a dull life. Totally asleep about things around hm. Shaun barely notices when those people around him start to ah ah change. Yeah, change. As the people around him become zombies, they (as you would expect) move much more slowly than normal people. The zombie disease is passed person to person by a bite (zombies like to bite). So with little purpose or plan, Shaun starts to collect the people in his life who are not infected and take them to a safe place; their corner bar.

A very British movie, a kinda odd and funny movie. It turned out to exceed my expectations enough that I’m giving it a 4 star rating. I do recommend this movie but not for young people; its kinda bloody.

4 Stars Blu Ray Transfer - OK
I thought this might be in great definition but because the movie is old, the quality isn’t much different than the dvd. This has been my typical experience with movies that date before blu ray started to get popular. It’s still a great movie and totally reccomend getting it - just thought you should know the quality is no where near the same as new release blu ray films like Inglorious Basterds.

1 Stars One word ” Horrible”
I feel bad for the Brits if this is what they give 5 stars.
