You mean Dawn of the Dead? Yeah the movie really rocks. It was one of the best I have ever seen. BTW is it a re-make or isn`t it? I forgot.

No he means Shawn of the Dead, a parody on the zombie-horror movies. It's coming out real soon [img]smile.gif[/img]

I saw it at the Dunedin Film Festival last night. Truly awesome movie! Ya'll are in for a treat!

It was great (saw it in May though, it still isn't out in some places yet???)

I thought it was really hilarious, although I noticed a few people leaving the cinema saying it was crap, AHHHH!

Suprisingly dramatic at times, a bit slow paced in certain sections of the film but all in all I thought it was a great laugh.

Not really a good spoof/parody film, but it is a great film in its own right.

Yeah, as a black-comedy amalgamation of 'splatter' and 'coro street' style storytelling I think it works brilliantly [img]smile.gif[/img] I laughed my ass off at the beautiful joke-delivery, and genuinely cringed at some of the brutal gore (the guy with glasses' death scene especially, WOAH!!

). A solid, highly-enjoyable flick. I think I might buy it on DVD when it inevitably comes out.

Awesome film, with so many little nods to the Evil Dead. Also it was all filmed and set around where I used to live in London. The part where the dead have risen and Shawn doesn't notice is one of the funniest things I've seen in ages - its a nice little jab at souless London living.

While I remember, the guy with glasses death is a homage to the original Dawn of the Dead. If you haven't seen the original then I strongly recommend it, its a very clever film.
