Tagline: It’s just one of those days when you’re feeling a little… dead. Shaun of the Dead (2004)

Summary: As Shaun (Simon Pegg) vows to get his life back on track with his best friend Ed (Nick Frost), girlfriend Liz (Kate Ashfield), and step-dad Philip (Bill Nighy), he finds himself in the middle of a zombie apocalypse and has to save the day, with comical and gory results

5 Words/Phrases: Great comedy; fantastic cast; Pegg and Frost work great together as a comedic duo; very welcome cameo appearance by Jessica Stevenson1; perfect mixture of comedy and gore

Most Impressed By: The strong supporting cast – Pegg may have had the lead role, but the movie was very much about the entire ensemble and they all worked very well together

Least Impressed By: …nothing!

Overall Rating: 9.5/10

  1. Stevenson and Pegg starred together in Spaced, one of my favorite TV shows. []

    This is one of those films I’ve been meaning to see for AGES, but never got around to. Perhaps I’ll change that tonight. :D

    Oh, dear. I didn’t like this movie at all. My BFF and I couldn’t agree on a movie one night, and I settled for this one. I wish I hadn’t. I guess I’m not into zombie movies that much (zombie video games, yes). My BFF loves zombie movies — especially 28 Days Later or whatever.
