Product Description

There comes a day in every man’s life when he has to get off the couch...and kill some zombies. When flesh-eating zombies are on the hunt for a bite to eat, it’s up to slacker Shaun (Simon Pegg) and his best pal Ed (Nick Frost) to save their friends and family from becoming the next entrée. Novelist Stephen King gushes Shaun of the Dead is “a 10 on the fun meter and destined to be a cult classic” and Newsweek calls it “a bloody hoot!” It’s a screamingly hilarious zomedy that will have you dying with laughter.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best version of the movie currently available, September 29, 2009

By	Blue Subie "superultraman" (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania United States) - See all my reviews

Shaun of the Dead BD viewed on a 50" 1080p Panasonic plasma via a Panasonic DMP-BD80 through a Yamaha RX-V863 (5.1 speakers) and an HDMI splitter/amp. 7.5' viewing distance.

Having watched this via FioS months ago, I was a little leery about PQ. No need; nice visible details throughout the movie. Not a lot of 3D pop. wasn't watching for halo-ing nor EE - sorry. good to see they made an effort for this HD release.

AQ was outstanding. i very clearly heard Ed 'pranging' Pete's car outside Shaun's parents' home from my rear surround speakers.

great HD upgrade from the DVD - recommended! might add to this review for extras later...

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome, September 13, 2009

By	Luther - See all my reviews

First DVD I ever bought and the BD rocks my face off. The audio and video are decapitated heads and shoulders above the DVD release. If you're a fan of the film ,then there is no question about getting it. Do it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Better and better with repeated viewings, November 13, 2009

By	M. Kobb (California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The first time I saw this movie, I enjoyed it, but it was nothing terribly special. Then, I happened to be working (as an engineer) on a consumer electronics product that plays DVD, and this was one of the test discs that I used. Consequently, I've seen the movie dozens of times now.

Rather than becoming tedious and repetitive, this movie actually gets better and better each time you watch it! It's clear that enormous loving care went into the script, as there are dozens of instances of foreshadowing and inside jokes built into the scenery and dialog. Minor characters turn out to be more deeply entwined with our heroes' lives than they appear at first. And, there are so many subtle little jokes in the dialog that you won't catch on first viewing.

All in all, this is now one of my favorite movies, and one I watch from time to time just for fun.
