Wonderfully entertaining zombie/comedy.

Rating: 8/10 (29 November 2004)

"Shaun of the Dead" is easily one of the best zombie flicks I have ever seen.Simon Pegg stars as a Shaun,a young British guy who sells home electronics.His life is bland and repetitive,revolving around the local pub,his lazy pot dealing best friend Ed,and his girlfriend Liz. One day Liz dumps him.Soon the entire city is over-run by bloodthirsty zombies.Shaun's response?With Ed in tow go pick up mom,then over to Liz's and whisk everybody off to the safety of the local pub."Shaun of the Dead" perfectly blends comedy with horror elements.The acting is excellent and the characters are well-written.There is also a nice amount of blood and gore.It's nice to see all the references to other films sprinkled throughout-fans of "Night of the Living Dead","Dawn of the Dead","The Evil Dead" or "28 Days Later" will be pleased.In short, "Shaun of the Dead" is the sort of film horror fans will see over and over.Check it out as soon as possible.
