Bloody Funny

Rating: 10/10 (18 June 2006)

"Shaun of The Dead" is an incredibly funny comedy/horror film in which an unlikely hero is born out of incredibly ugly circumstances.
Shaun (Simon Pegg)is a loser: his co-workers at the appliance give him a hard time, his girlfriend Liz (Kate Ashfield)dumps him, and his life just seems to not have any focus. His only friend is Ed (Nick Frost),who speaks his mind just a bit too much. It just seems that Shaun's life can't get any worse.
Until the zombies invade.
At first oblivious to everything (walking to the store as zombies are walking everywhere), Shaun and Ed wise up and plan on getting his family and friends to a safe place. However, things don't go as planned. Not only do they have to deal with the zombie invasion, but they have to deal with everyday issues (Which Prince album should be used to throw at the zombies? "Purple Rain," "Sign O' The Times" or "Batman?").
This came out during the time when zombies/undead ruled the box office (The remake of "Dawn of The Dead," "28 Days Later"), and it is an incredibly funny. The most hilarious part has to do with Shaun and Co. have to practice being zombies ("Who died and made you f*****g king of the zombies?"one of the guys said about his imitation)and as they're walking through the crowd, Ed gets a call on his cell phone and talks to his friends as his friends (And zombies)look on.
Shaun looks and acts like the unlikeliest of heroes, and he manages not only to become the leader of the band (despite constant complaining from one of the group members), but he manages to save the girl and keep his best friend (In a very weird way).
A film that should not be missed and a must have in your collection. One of the best horror spoofs in years!
