SHAUN
OF
THE
DEAD
With
Simon
Pegg,
Kate
Ashfield,
Lucy
Davis,
Nick
Frost
Directed
by
Edgar
Wright
With
the
Zombie
movie
making
a
serious
comeback
(only
to
be
totally
lamed
out
and
commercialized
like
the
Slasher
movie
resurrection
ala
Scream),
these
Brits
decided
to
take
a
stab
at
the
genre
by
fusing
it
with
a
romantic
comedy.
Two
loser
housemates
seem
to
live
dead
end
lives
(although
they
seem
to
be
having
fun
at
it).
Shaun's
girlfriend
however
wants
more
than
sitting
down
the
pub
and
hitting
the
PlayStation.
Shaun's
life
gets
ripped
into
perspective
when
a
zombie
epidemic
sweeps
the
UK.
Armed
with
a
cricket
bat,
Shaun
heads
out
to
save
his
girl
with
many
a
gross-out
laugh
along
the
way.
Where
films
like
28
Days
Later
and
the
remake
of
George
A.
Romero's
Dawn
Of
The
Dead
opt
for
the
fierce,
swift
and
agile
undead,
the
Shaun-team
went
the
old
classic
route
of
slow
staggering
zombos.
Well
shot,
with
cool
effects
and
crazy
scenes,
Shaun
Of
The
Dead
not
only
borrowed
its
title
from
Romero's
shopping
mall
classic,
but
also
uses
the
comical
glockenspiel
music
theme.
Fulci's
Zombie
Flesh
Eaters
or
Romero's
Day
Of
The
Dead
this
'aint,
but
a
blast
it
surely
is,
with
excellent
animated
menus
and
extras
like
video
diaries,
FX
tests,
deleted
scenes,
outtakes,
a
commentary
track,
trailers
and
a
2000AD
comic
version
of
the
story.
