brilliantly funny and gory and also touching

Rating: 10/10 (16 June 2008)

i hired this movie (and now own) when i heard my friends talking about it often for quite a while. this movie is just brilliant.
Shaun (Simon Pegg) is a guy with a lousy job, shares a house with two friends. Ed, who is an immature man who does not seem like he is ever going to grow up and has no job and Pete, who works and is absolutely fed up with Ed.
Shaun has one last chance to make it up with his girlfriend Liz (Kate Ashfield) because she is sick of having to go to the Winchester (pub) every time they go on a date, and she feels as though Shaun is not being committed. Shaun, Ed, Liz and her two friends Dianne and David (Lucy Davis and Dylan Moran) are always together when they go on these 'dates' at the Winchester.
well it doesn't work out with Shaun and Liz and they break up. Ed takes Shaun to the Winchester and this is when people start noticing some strange things.
the next day the outbreak of zombies is revealed and Shaun devises a plan to rescue his mum and kill his step dad (Bill Nighy) and rescue his new ex-girlfriend Liz and wait the zombie epidemic out.
there are a LOT! of funny scenes in this movie, i am not even really going to start because i won't stop.
there are quite a few touching moments as well, especially when Shaun's step dad apologises and another one later but i don't want to spoil it.
anyways this is a really funny movie, and some of the gross gory bits are actually made funny because of the atmosphere created. its a romantic comedy with zombies.
