Was it scary at all or just funny?

[Jixby Phillips]

[Ant10708]

I know nothing of the movie and the one commerical i saw implied it was both. :/

try reading my first post before I kill you with a cricket bat.

"I come home tonight with a renewed sense of hope in the Horror Comedy genre of movies. Shaun of the Dead managed to drop jokes, spoofs, and comedy, with perfect british timing, into every scene possible. May it be a relaxing on the couch, being depressed about the zombies and the end of the world, or while someone is torn to shreds.
If you look, you will find something to laugh at every time. I'm a bit of a fan of good British humor, mainly Red Dwarf. So I was a bit worried on how this movie would turn out. I was amazed at how good it was."

You mention Horror comedy but that doesnt tell me if it could be scary or not.

Can you at least not try to be an idiot?

To be scared is a personal thing.
I wasn't scared, but the girl I was with was jumping at every little noise.
I can't tell you if it is scary, it is something to judge for yourself.

To find something funny is a personal thing too. So its British zombie movie that might be funny and could be scary.

No offence, but did you briefly revert to being 7 years old when you wrote that post?

I hope I can have a pint of beer with Dole one day, sitting on a Terrace critisizing people that walk by.

It was pretty good, not quite as good as I was hoping, but it was still well-done and the humor wasn't the kind of British humor that makes me want to destroy everything in sight. The funny moments were real funny.

Still, it can't hold a candle to Dead Alive. That's the ultimate horror/comedy zombie flick.

Spoken like someone who has never seen Cemetery Man.

James honey, Shut up that movie sucked.

I partially agree. Half of the humor in Dead Alive was, it seems to me, unintentional.
Granted, the Zombie baby in the park had me rolling with laughter, and the kung-fu priest, and the lawnmower to chest, over all it was a situational/sight gag type humor, which is freaking hilarious.

Before you point it out, yes, most of the humor in Shaun of the Dead was like that also, but... I don't know, I just like the... background humor, that Shaun of the dead had, to complement the foreground humor.

I.E. when Shaun and Liz are talking about the end in the basement of the pub, and killing themselves, and Ed is dying and mumbling in the background.
Or the final, parting jokes at the end of the film.

They are both hilarious movies I guess... but I enjoyed Shaun of the Dead a little bit more.

I loved the bit where they were all mimicing zombies. Ed did a really funny zombie imitation which still makes me half crack up thinking about it. I loved everything about the movie, except maybe the really long drawn out scene where they're arguing on whether or not to shoot <PERSON LEFT OUT> in the pub.

I saw it last night, it was good. There were actually lots of people in the theater.
