“It was a big film for me when I was coming up, when I was a teenager. I like zombies and I like Edgar Wright.”

“This was my favorite movie of that year. I loved how much Edgar Wright loved the Romero universe that he recreated. The script is really terrific — it's one of the more quotable films on this list. And I appreciate the distinction: it's not a spoof of zombie movies; it's a real zombie movie. It's just a really funny zombie movie.”
