Rating: 6.6 out of 10
James Kennedy must have quite the gash on his noggin' from smacking his head against the wall every time Dead City gets compared to Shaun of the Dead. I mean, can you imagine the frustration of having to follow on the heels of Pegg and Wright's international splatstick success? It must be about about as fun as getting the bubonic plague. Truth be told, Shaun was hardly the first zombie flick to mix the undead with other genres for the sake of a good joke. Mark Goldblatt's Dead Heat lampooned the buddy movie way back in '88, while Peter Jackson's Braindead even brought designer gore into the romantic comedy as early as '92. However, Dead City is also British which doesn't help, so what can you really do but make the connection and move on.
