"Shaun of the Dead"
This is quite a surprising and brilliant piece of work which I suspect will achieve the accolade of instant cult status as word of mouth snowballs this film to richly deserved recognition.
Simon Pegg, both the joint writer and the main star of the film, has been a comedic force for some time, most notably in the fantastic BBC2 series 'Hippies' (which inexplicably bombed in the ratings) and the cult Channel 4 series 'Spaced'. Both programs hinted at Pegg's saliently dead pan comedic manner (and writing skills) which comes to full fruition in 'Shaun of the Dead'.
In a nut shell, this film is a romantic comedy with zombies (or zom-rom-com) who appear for no good clear reason (although some tantalising clues are offered). The film is an amazing blend of the funny, the violent and the poignant.
Especially funny when he has to decide which of his record collection to throw at the zombie!!!
Not that this film is subtle however, there is a stunning array of visual comedy, one liners and (best of all) some digs at other films from the horror genre.
The only problem with this film is that there are so many funny moments in it that it is hard to pick any to write about without spoiling the film.
All I can say is that I cannot remember a film ever being this consistently funny with probably five or six serious laugh-out-loud moments.
It was a joy to watch and my only disappointment is that I can never watch this film for the first time ever again - every viewing will forever be a repeat viewing.
Shaun of the Dead is not suitable for everyone though - the language from the beginning is strong and the violence was quite surprising.
A top quality Horror (spoof) thriller

I liked the films The Exorcism of Emily Rose, An American Haunting and Skeleton Key. Of course there have been lots of other ones, but the ones I've just listed were less bloody and more cerebral. It all depends on what you like, but I would recommed these three.

If you go way back to 2000, Ginger Snaps was a classic.
Assuming you like werewolves.
