Shaun of the Dead (2004, Dir. Edgar Wright)
Life isn't too good for Shaun. He lives with his best friend Ed, neglects his girlfriend Liz and despises his step-dad. When Liz dumps Shaun, he vows to get his life back on track. Unfortunately, this is the day that the dead has decided to come back to life. With a cricket bat and Ed by his side, Shaun sets out to rescue those he loves and those he doesn't love, and heads to the safest place he knows...the Winchester.
It's not often that you get zombie horror movies coming from the UK. 'Shaun of the Dead' is one of those gems which appeared when audiences needed them the most. Everything in this movie is great. The story is a funny and entertaining script with jokes appearing from every direction. The jokes are all funny and can remain funny long after the first viewing. The cast were a great choice with everyone playing a perfect character. All the zombies look realistic, with bits of body missing. Although many people might think a UK can't make a zombie movie, but this would prove them wrong.
