Shaun of the Dead skillfully satirizes the zombie horror genre, but in more of a socially conscious, tongue-in-cheek way, rather than an outright lampooning. Mel Brooks this is not. The film also features a believable and charming comedic relationship between the two leads, as well as some frightfully good zombie killing and action. It's a crazy blending of genres that somehow works. |

This is one of the best Zombie movies, and the best ZomCom ever made. I would hope that future movie will build off of the basic concepts of this movie, but I am sure I will only be disappointed by attempts to recreate a movie like this one. I have not failed to find on Pegg movie that I have not thoroughly enjoyed. He and Frost have amazing chemistry on screen and their friendship shines through and brings this movie to that next level. This movie was very scary with very little horror involved. It almost plays out like a stoner flick with zombies. But it still accomplishes to capture the social themes of zombie movies. This is a must-watch for all men, comedy fans, and zombie movie lovers. |

Ahh the life of a local beer fly and his best friend couch squatter. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost make a awesome team that led you into a adventure of non stop laughs while amusingly defeating a town of the living dead. Great movie to watch over and over.. |

What do you do when Zombies attack? Throw Sade records at them, of course and beat them off with a cricket bat!
A zombie epidemic takes over London, and recently dumped shop assistant Shaun (Simon Pegg), with his slob roommate Ed (Nick Frost) who doesn't have a job, plays video games nonstop and sells weed have to stay alive, save Shaun's mum, his ex-girlfriend and do their utmost to stop the lumbering undead from breaking through the walls of the Winchester, a local pub of questionable repute and feasting on their flesh. But Shaun, armed with a cricket bat, is determined to save the woman he loves and nothing is going to get in his way!
The plot rips along beautifully and parodies the zombie genres. Shaun's dry wit of the situation makes the viewers able to laugh so if you are look... |

"Shaun Of The Dead" by Yojimbo |
|
Ambition-free retail manager Shaun thinks that being dumped by his girlfriend is the end of the world, until next morning when he wakes up to find that the dead are walking the earth. Brought to you by the same team who brought you Spaced, Shaun Of The Dead is a knowing homage to George Romero's Dead trilogy in which a zombie holocaust is seen through the eyes of a London slacker. Much beloved by many, this film is a bit of a case of rose-tinted memories; the highlights are actually hilarious, but there are far less of them than you'd think. In fact most of the really funny lines happen in the first half hour, before the bulk of the zombie action when the Pegg and Frost double act are in full effect. As the film goes on however, the laughs get fewer and farther between to the point where ... |

Shaun of the Dead review |
|
The story of Shaun (Simon Pegg) is a 29-year-old salesman whose life is falling apart because of a break-up between Liz (Kate Ashfield), a stressful relationship with Pete (Peter Serafinowicz) and a routine job with unruly staffs. Shaun spends his time to unwind with his good friend Ed (Nick Frost). Suddenly, people turn into zombies when they die and are seen on the news. Shaun makes an effort to save his ex., mother and friends David (Dylan Moran) and Dianne (Lucy Davis) and Ed. Some noteworthy quotes from the film: Liz – “You promised things would change.” Shaun – “I do not find it hard to keep my social life and my work life separate.” The pace of the story in the beginning was a bit dull. Some scenes were frightening and hilarious. Soundtrack incorporated on the film was clev... |
