Shaun of The Dead is a really funny comedy,it sort of makes fun out of all the zombie films ever made.And for those of you who think that the zombie films are silly any way and laugh at them, you will find this hilarious.
Shaun is not having a good day his girlfriend has dumped him because he spends too much time with his slob of a mate Ed who sits all day at the computer and does no work.And she is also fed up with them spending so much time down their local pub The Winchester. Shaun is also being undermined in his job by a young group of trainees who he is supposed to be in charge of. His friend Pete who he shares accommodation with is sick of lazy Ed and wants him out. Because Shaun is so depressed he gets drunk one night with Ed,and neither of them realise that the whole of London is being took over by flesh eating zombies.Every where they are walking chaos is happening all around them.Where they keep flicking over the channels on the TV,they keep missing the latest news on the chaos,so they remain totally oblivious. Its not until Ed notices a girl acting very odd in their garden that they decide to go out to investigate,thinking that she is drunk they ask her to leave.She then starts to attack Shaun he pushes her, she falls back onto a pole that is sticking up out of the ground, the pole goes right through her and lots of blood spurts out,they think they have accidentally killed her until she suddenly rises up.They now realise something is definitely wrong.
The rest of the film involves Shaun and Ed trying to rescue girlfriend Liz,Shauns mum and what turns out to be a few others,Liz's college friends and Shauns step-dad. Shauns major plan is that they should all make their way to the Winchester pub where they will all be safe.But will they be?
The film towards the end reaches a big anti-climax,i wont say any more. This is one of the funniest films I've seen for a long time and its not a bad horror flick either.The acting is very good,it combines comedy ,tragedy and romance all in one which isn't easy to do.The actors are little known all though im sure we will be seeing more of them in the future.
