Shaun of the Dead

Shaun of the Dead $5 Halloween Candy Cash Offer DVD

Edgar Wright's horror-comedy film SHAUN OF THE DEAD follows the title character Simon Pegg through his mundane life in London. Joined by his immature and ever-present roommate Ed Nick Frost Shaun excels at nothing except drinking pints of ale and watching television which causes friction with his girlfriend Liz Kate Ashfield. Before Shaun can save his relationship however he's got to fend off a horde of zombies that are slowly taking over the city. Armed with a cricket bat and a vague sense of direction Shaun must rescue his friends and loved ones and bring them to the only safe place he can think of--the pub. Cowritten by Wright and Pegg SHAUN OF THE DEAD succeeds remarkably well at combining droll British humor with good old-fashioned zombie cinema. While the movie is often hilariously amusing it takes its horror pedigree seriously offering up moments of genuine suspense and even a healthy dose of gore. Pegg is oddly charming as the put-upon lead slacker and Frost is appropriately oafish but the living dead themselves also take up a fair amount of screen time shuffling and limping in their best Romero form. For lovers of zombie films and other chills-and-chuckle s outings like EVIL DEAD II and DEAD ALIVE SHAUN OF THE DEAD is an instant cult classic.
