http://www.apple.com/trailers/independent/shaunofthedead.html I had heard of this movie, but wasn't too interested in it. Now that I've seen the trailer, I really want to catch it. What do you guys think?
With all the slobbering praise the movie has gotten on Ain't It Cool News, I've been interested in seeing it.
The slobbering praises are what turned me off at first. I decided to not really look into the movie after that. Today, I noticed the trailer on the quicktime site and I decided to take a look and I enjoyed what I saw.
Ditto! Most things net fanboys cream over as comedy classics I wind up finding completely devoid of anything amusing: Austin Powers II, Meet The Parents...) I even read a spoiler-laden summary and it sounded pretty unfunny, however the trailer makes it look very promising (and I usually DESPISE trailers). Slow-moving zombies do have a lot of potential for comedy, as demonstrated at times in the original Dawn of the Dead.
I saw this on the plane on a recent trip to London. I thought it was pretty damn funny. Definitely worth a look as an off-the-wall silly, dark comedy.
I am happy for the zombie movie industry right now. Parody is a sign you've made it big. Oh, and all those millions of dollars 28 days later/dawn of the dean raked in.
