Shaun Of The Dead
Shaun (Simon Pegg) is not quite your average twentysomething. Lacking any real ambition and drifting along in a job that he hates, he drives his long-suffering girlfriend Liz (Kate Ashfield), up the wall. Despite being a very decent chap, Shaun suddenly gets a very rude wake up call when the undead begin roaming the earth (or London's Crouch End, at least) and, with the help of his slacker chum, Ed (Nick Frost), he must save Liz and his dear mum from becoming zombies! Well, that's if he can get out of the local pub...

Laughter and fear may not seem the likeliest bedfellows. One sensation is pure pleasure, the other is something we usually prefer to avoid in our everyday life. There isn't a great read more »

OH YES!!!
What a film! It's really hard to find a horror/comedy that keeps you laughing all the way through but 'Shaun of the Dead' did just that!
The gags at the beginning were just as good as the ones at the end.... AND YET! still paid homage to the 1978 'Dawn of the Dead' film it was obviously based on.
You must see this film!!!!! -

A different take
I rented this film out not really knowing what to expect, I have never seen any of the Spaced series although had obviously heard of Simon Pegg. The film itself basically takes a premise usually associated with America and asks what would happen if it took place in England, with hilarious results. It really does work, the film is well paced, the characters are likable, quite 3 dimensional and you cant help but warm to them, the humour itself may not have you splitting your sides with laughter but will have you smiling all the way through, I would recommend this film to some one who wants to see something a little bit different and off-centre and perhaps a little bit tired of the shlock of horror that you would associate with Zombie movies
