Review: Shaun of the Dead

Spoiler Discussion

1. The scene of Shaun being “controlled” by the rest of the group as they shoot the zombies was fun and a great bit of fun. The first person swiveling camera felt like a view from a first-person shooter. This in conjunction with the group effort of the endeavor, made the whole thing feel like an elaborate video game scene.

2. The parallel scene of Yvonne (Jessica Stevenson) and her merry group of friends exchanging greetings with Shaun’s group was hilarious. It just highlighted the sitcom feel of the movie- like the casts of two separate shows meeting up with each other. Each of them is just a zombie-movie archetype with their comedic attributes dialed up. I wonder what Yvonne of the Dead looked like.
