Shaun of the Dead



Running: 1 hr 37min

Main Cast: Simon Pegg, Nick Frost

Genre: Horror, Comedy, Romance



some of you should know by now, I'm one heck of a Zombie addict, any movie with Zombies I just got to see, even if the movie sucks although I tend not to like them.

Lemme start off by saying this movie was one of the most under-hyped movies of '04, due to low advertisment. I loved this movie from beggining to end, with it's excellent use of Foreshadowing, and irony it'll take a couple of views to figure some of it out.



So let me break down the plot, Shaun (Simon Pegg) is a mid 20-30 year old with no real goal in life, he's lazy (like me ) and pay's more attention to his loser flatmates; Ed (Nick Frost) and Pete, than his Girlfriend. So basically after being dumped by his Girlfriend Liz, out of nowhere the dead start to walk the Earth, Shaun basically comes up with plan to save his friends and his Ex. It does explain how the dead start to walk, but it's not really the point of the movie.

The movie is full of memorable lines, some hard to pick up due to the accents of the British but you should get most of the movie. The humor is used when apporiate and isn't immature, like South Park or Team America. It's a great mix of the Horror genre Romance and Comedy all blended into one great and memorable movie. There's some great Effects from Sound-Graphic, along with Dialouge. In all honesty it's one of my favorite movies of all time. I own the DVD, saw it in theaters. And it's one of the most hilarious piece of work ever done with the Zombies. All in all at least rent this movie, something tells me you'll enjoy it. One of the most under appreciated movies ever made.

BTW there a very little scares and the Gore is to a minimum. If you have any concerns like that.



Shaun of the Dead: 9/10

I already said, it's one of the best movies ever...too bad it really didn't have any good quotes though. Although, you may think that's a pretty good quote, I don't think it really means anything outside the context of the movie...I love movies with a bunch of great one-liners, for example: Blues Brothers, Pulp Fiction, etc.

Still, aside from not having good quotes, it's one of the funniest movies ever. I bought the dvd the day it came out, without even seeing the movie prior to my purchase, I couldn't have made a better decision.

ya it was lacking any real, quotes but still all of the irony placed into it, especially when Ed was playing 007 on PS2 and later when Shaun*small spoiler* uses the rifle in the bar *spoiler over*, remember "Top-Left, 3:00, Reload." it's some of the best use of, as I've said before, foreshadowing and irony that I've seen in a movie.
