La vida de Shaun es un callejón sin salida. Se pasa la vida en la taberna del pueblo, el Winchester, con su íntimo amigo Ed, discute con su madre y descuida a su novia Liz. Cuando Liz lo deja plantado, Shaun decide poner su vida en orden: tiene que reconquistar el corazón de su novia, enmendar sus relaciones con su madre y enfrentarse a las responsabilidades de un adulto. Por desgracia, toma esta determinación el día en que los muertos deciden volver a la vida y tratan de devorar a los vivos. Para Shaun, esto es simplemente un obstáculo más. Enfrentándose sin cuartel a un ejército de zombis -armado con un palo de 'cricket' y una pala y llevando a Ed a remolque-, emprende el rescate de su madre, de su padrastro, de su novia y de los amigos de ésta.

Una comedia de zombis con inglés británico y moral agradablemente podrida: los dos protagonistas son unos vagos y son «geniales». Todos ellos, incluida Kate Ashfield, están bien elegidos y el ritmo rápido de la película promete mucho, pero al final el guión se queda sin ideas y se tambalea sin remedio, robando lo que pueda (repito, robando, no parodiando, que no es lo mismo). Esta película no tiene realmente un argumento y sólo intenta ser una divertida comedia de situación, donde no se trata de QUÉ, sino de CÓMO sucede en unos pocos metros cuadrados de espacio. Pero a excepción del mencionado comienzo, me aburrí la mayor parte del tiempo y me pregunté por la limitada imaginación del guionista.

A romantic comedy... With zombies! Despite getting slower and less funny from half way through, before that it is so full of great scenes and snappy lines that you just can’t help enjoying yourself. The gang that created the Britcom Spaced doesn’t let themselves down even in this feature-length movie. Overall, any weaker moments during the movie are made up for by the final study into what happens to the average Joe zombie once the troubles are over... The poor dear.

The British sent the undead to the London suburbs and countered them with dry English humor mixed with the darkest elements. A simple plot, where the emphasis is placed more on the characters, "twists" into an exemplary zombie slaughter in the second half. The methods for their extermination are prepared and effective, so much so that you'll soon lose count of bloody splatters, shot heads, or pierced bodies. It's almost unbelievable that throughout the entire ninety minutes, the film managed to maintain the right comedic perspective. Even when the joke quality occasionally dips into awkwardness, there are always plenty of brighter moments that genuinely bring out the laughter. Perhaps only the final resolution of the situation is a bit too much "for effect," but even that cannot take away from the overall comfort and stylishness that reigns over the film. When collars and chains appeared at the very end, it all fell into place for me.

An unfunny, unimaginative and somewhat schizophrenic mix of comedy, parody and sometimes unexpectedly serious drama (the scene with the killing of the mother). The screenwriter didn't eat much funny porridge, so most of the scenes that look humorous or are "set up" for a funny punchline fizzle out. After that, even the superbly typecast actors and the fine looking zombies can't save the final impression. What I did like was the great ending and the creators' reference to the godfather of gore, Lucio Fulci, naming a pub after him.
