"Funky Pete" is another little add-on to the famous British zombie comedy "Shaun of the Dead" and the release year is also 2004 of course. There are more like these and I must say that this one here is not my favorite. It is really short though at slightly under two minutes, so it is all good I guess. Maybe it is essential to really know and care for the characters of the full feature movie this is based on in order to appreciate this one we have here. I don't know. But as a stand-alone movie (and I think every film should be seen as such one way or the other) it is not really working out. It relies too much on what we don't know to make an impact and as a consequence not only the characters are slightly forgettable, but also it is somehow a negative deal-breaker. At least for me, i am afraid. i think this one is way overrated here on IMDb and I give it a thumbs-down. Only worth checking out if you really really love "Shaun of the Dead".
