An amazing zombie flick with humour and gore

Rating: 10/10 (4 September 2016)

I'll kick off this review by saying... Simon Pegg and Nick Frost work so well together! If a film has these 2 actors in, it's bound to be great!
This film is totally epic. It's a mash-up mainly of 3 genres: Action, Comedy and Horror... But with some elements of Rom-Com and Thriller.
The action is extremely over-the-top and gory (full of blood, guts and brain splatter). Also it has some VERY funny scenes (including the 'Don't Stop Me Now' bar scene) but also some very sad character deaths.
Simon Pegg-as usual- gives a great performance as Shaun, a 29 year old loser with a dull, easy life and a job in an electronics store. When he's not working at the electronics store, he lives with his goofball best friend, Ed (Nick Frost- who also gives a great performance!), in a small flat on the outskirts of London where they mainly mess around and eat Cornettos. But his girlfriend Liz (Kate Ashfield), wishes desperately for Shaun to grow up and be a man. When the town is overrun with zombies, Shaun must rise to the occasion and protect both Liz and her friends and his mother (Penelope Wilton).
It has some very good acting performances and funny dialogue, but also some very sad scenes. Overall it is a great mash-up of genres and it all works and comes together to make one hell of a movie.
So I give 'Shaun Of The Dead' a 9.75/10 or 5 stars.
