I'm talking about the movie I just watched - Shaun of the Dead. Starts off great - funny intriguing, but turns into just another pedestrian zombie movie with intestines and a little love story.Blood, guts and popcorn.
Its part of a trend towards comedy-horror. It's almost like people think that by poking fun at how cliched their movie is that makes it more acceptable (or even watchable)? Don't get me wrong some movies pull it off brilliantly - the Scary Movie series is still brilliant and makes me laugh - but mostly becuase it's not trying to make me scared too.
Shaun of the Dead is silly and afterwards you will feel cheated. Yep it's just another zombie movie.
*Yawns*
At least our power was *knocks on wood* uninterupted enough today to watch it !

*shocked* You think Scary Movie was more effective than Shaun of the Dead? Blasphemy!
I'm not a fan at all of the horror or comedy-horror genre, but I found Shaun of the dead to be quite a funny movie :)
