It is funny and heart touching and sad at parts but generally just a regular zombie film.

But I did find it hilarious. I think it was the actors and the dialogue.

It could have been the Brit humor aspect of it that he didn't like. That sometimes falls flat with people.

I'm a big fan of Brit humour. Spaced (same guys as Shaun of the Dead) was a brilliant show.

| 4. The two stars in Shaun have a cameo in Land of the Dead. |
|
They're the two zombies that the "citizens" get their photos taken with.

One of the best movies that I have ever seen, and I have seen about 2 or more movies per week (rental or theater) since I was 16.
