The audience we attended 'Sean of the Dead' with was a hoot. It is the only movie I have ever watched where reactions ping ponged between howling with laughter and shrieks of horror. This reminds me of an updated 'Carry On...' movie with screams.

This is the very best of British comedy. The lead actor who plays the title role also co-wrote the script. He, and all the other actors, did a great job. They all play great characters. I have seen a couple of them on Coronation Street and other places where it's bugging me that I can't remember. The characters are all introduced quickly before the action starts. I'd say this one provides a cautionary tale against channel surfing. It also shows how far the Brits loyalty to their 'local' will go.

When we were walking to the car afterwards there were people in the street whose walks resembled people in movie. That had us laughing. We relived this one in the car and chuckled all the way home.

I can't wait to see this. We were going to go see it this weekend but didn't find the time. I cannot wait!

The local theatre has a display for the movie but they're not showing it.

This movie was soo funny and kinda gory in a way I wasn't expecting. But i was dying laughing all the way.

It's a very good romcomzombie.

Best movie I've seen in a long time. DH and I will add this one to our DVD collection.

I totally cracked up. I loved it when the two groups met up and everyone had a doppelganger.

This movie was funny and very different. I loved the way Shaun wasn't paying attention to the zombies showing up in the first place. He doesn't notice the bloody handprints on the glass doors at the store, he shuffles thru the tv channels missing the news that there is danger outside, and at the end, we miss the reason why it happened in the first place because he's going thru the channels so fast.
I liked how the 2 groups had a double of each other too. There were so many little things you had to catch fast, and I loved how they showed the people on the bus already zombie-like in their regular lives, before the real zombies show up
You laugh you scream, there are some scenes with such graphic violence, yet you still laugh.

It is one of the few movies I have bought the dvd for. It's fun to watch it with friends who haven't seen it before
