I think the film was funny and entertaining, full of surprises and good quality.
One of my favourite parts was when, near the end, Norman helped a girl, who had the same powers as him (seeing people from the dead), who was haunting some people who killed her as they were frightened, to realise that they were scared, and then she said her name was 'Eggy'. This was because it came as a funny surprise. Also I found it quite entertaining when Normans friends brother said "You'll love it when you see my boyfriend", clearly meaning him. What left me in suspense was when the zombies scrambled from their old, grown over graves and slumped after both petrified Alvin the bully and Norman the heroic character who ran for their lives. Although I did find the green, slimy, dirty, gruesome, disgusting zombies off putting with ones whos blobby skin was hanging from his blood and slime covered gum like a tumor that had been removed and another whos arm was blood covered and terrible, lightening like holes showing nasty, black bones, cracked like a drill running into a thick wall of plaster. What I thought was high quality was the design of each character. The older sister, with wide hips and dazzling, blonde hair. A teenager walk, she has a middle-tone voice full of 'likes' and 'what evs'. Her skin has a nice tan with crystal blue eyes.
Normans friends brother, with ginger hair, and a broad chest, his muscular arms as big as bunnys give him a great touch of handsomeness, his voice is a strange deep but high at the same time and his skin is as pale as white tiles on the wall.
Normans friend, as obese as a pig, he has ginger curly hair, finished off with childish clothes and titchy arms. His fingers like sausages, he has a funny sense of humour.
Norman, with sticking up hair like porcupines, he has an odd way and imagines stuff alot. He is quiet but brave and cunning. His personality brought him into saving everyone and helping. He gets easily bullied and is very lonely. He gets picked on for being weird.
Alvin the bully, He has earrings in his ears and black messy hair and the face of a squashed turnip, he is a rather nasty bully, but later on turning into a loyal but cowardly friend.
DISKLIKE
The one and only dislike is one of Eggy's speeches is clearly copied from Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part , when Helana Ravenclaw speaks but is then edited to say a different line.
