Similar - Yes. Shaun of the Dead = zombies, Bad Taste = aliens and Brain Dead = zombie aliens. There was also a great amount of gore though not as much as in Bad Taste.
That's where the similarities end. If you think this movie made you wee, I tend to think you might actually not have understood the tremendous amount of subtle jokes delivered in Shaun of the dead.
Anyways, Brain Dead was perhaps twice as good as I expected it to be. Horrible acting, bad make-up and god awful characters - but the gore was pretty fkn fun to watch! Also, the upskirt scene when the black goo comes out of the girl's vag - that *beep* was good.
And finally, Bad Taste and SotD is of course ten times better than this movie, but Brain Dead was indeed enjoyable to watch if you like zombies and/or gore.
