Shaun of The Dead

2004

Simon Pegg, Kate Ashfield, Nick Frost, Lucy Davis, Dylan Moran, Peter Serafinowicz, Bill Nighy


A British rom-com with zombies.....pretty much sums it up

Taking the mick out of every zombie movie ever created, Evil Dead, Dawn of the Dead etc...Shaun of the Dead manages to roll every emotion into one movie, instead of just gore.
 Shaun has no life. He works as a sales assistant and hates it. He lives with his manky unemployed bum of a best friend Ed (Frost) whose claim to fame is impersonating an ape and their longsuffering flatmate Pete (Serafinowicz) who just wants them both to get a life and grow up.

Shaun can't do anything right and when he screws things up with his girlfriend Liz(Ashfield) he decides the best thing to do is to go out and get pissed with Ed...after all "It's not the end of the world" Waking up, he decides to get his life in order......there is only one problem....just a minor one.....zombies have taken over the UK.

Its funny, it's crude, its sad and involves a very funny scene with pool cues and Don't Stop Me Now by Queen. I could watch it over and over and not be bored.
In fact, ive watched it so much, i know it off by heart.

Its very British humour, brought to you by the same bunch who made the cult tv show Spaced (also one i would recommend you watch).

Pegg is very cute as the misguided Shaun, you do feel very sorry for him. He does try his best.
Frost is hilarious as the oaf Ed....again, complete waste of space, but you want him to succeed.

Highly recommended, watch with a group of friends. It does not dissapoint....
