The pasty, scruffy Pegg shows a surprising amount of range for the unlikely hero of a zombie flick.
Christy Lemire, Associated Press
Rotten
The movie bogs down and the humor seems to dry up, though the blood continues to well, spurt and spew.
Claudia Puig, USA Today
Fresh
The cast make a cosy fit, the patter is still sitcom snappy, but Wright also has the visual snap to carry this saga of backyard apocalypse.
Nick Bradshaw, Time Out
Fresh
The zombie-movie genre already has some wink-wink funny entries, but this U.K. smash hit, written by Pegg and Wright, takes the prize. It's a bloody hoot.
