      Audience Member It tried to hard to be funny. Just came across as nasty. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/14/21 Full Review Audience Member Started watching this thinking I'm not gonna like this, however I gave it a chance but ended up stopping it halfway through. It tried to take on certain aspects of Sean of the Dead and failed miserably. Sean of the Dead genuinely made me laugh and had the perfect amount of gore and shock factor and the characters were interesting. Where as 'this' just didn't compare at all. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member it was ok, nothing more than that Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/05/20 Full Review Audience Member "Shed of the Dead" was quite the spontaneous watch, I was immediately persuaded to watch it after seeing names like Bill Moseley, Kane Hodder and Michael Berryman. Can't say I wasn't expecting them to have only a few minutes of screentime each but that's not the problem though. It's probably very reminiscent of "Shaun of the Dead" for a lot of people, plus a pinch or ten of "Your Highness" or "Knights of Badassom", along with some other smaller references. While the filmmakers have borrowed a lot of ideas (which isn't necessirly bad) they've also managed to put it all together neatly in 80 minutes of evenly paced fun. "Shed of the Dead" has "low budget" written all over it, but at the same time the actors, the characters, jokes & even the production design makes you feel the effort and joy that's behind making this flick. For the horror buffs, the before mentioned actors are a true treat, there's a reason why they're so big on the poster... The story is much like that of "Shaun of the Dead", but not to a fault. What I found to be the dumbest parts were how easily characters did or did not do some things. This is a spoiler-free review, so I won't mention the particulars, but at some points the writing just felt off and silly, not the kind of silly that adds up to the comedy. From a technical standpoint I admired the intro animations, but overanalyzed some of the cinematography choices, more than a few frames jumped out. The original score is kinda shallow and vague but doesn't stick out in a bad way at any point. Sure, there are a lot of other, a lot of better zombie movies out there, but "Shed of the Dead" will more likely than not entertain the fans of either the cast, the zombie genre, horror comedies or all three of those things. My rating: 5/10. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Fun as hell. Reminds me of a darker Shaun of the Dead. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member There is exactly one reason that I watched Shed of the Dead, and that's the supporting cast (I guess you could make the argument that that's like... 4 reasons, because there's 4 different people I was interested in seeing, but if there had only been one of them, I still wouldn't have bothered, so I'm counting it as 1). Now that I've seen the movie, I know there was nothing else it secretly had going for it I was missing either. And catching a couple of minutes of some horror greats and that one chav sheila from Misfits on screen did not come close to making up for what I just had to watch.

      Noel Murray Los Angeles Times "Shed of the Dead," written and directed by Drew Cullingham, also suffers from some ugly misogyny, with nearly every woman in the picture framed as a sex object or shrew. May 17, 2019 Full Review Tom Beasley Flickering Myth A charming exercise in shlock and silliness, even if it's not the most memorable horror outing ever. Rated: 3/5 May 29, 2019 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film There are little hints of a better film here trying to get out but too many scenes start promisingly only to end up contributing nothing to the overall work. Rated: 2/5 May 17, 2019 Full Review Paul Mount Starburst Shed of the Dead is quite epically bad and yet it's hard not to find something to enjoy in its endearing clueless tackiness. Rated: 3/10 Apr 5, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
