Not just an excellent satire of zombie films, but an excellent zombie film in general.

Rating: 10/10 (22 May 2015)

This film accomplishes what I want every parody to do. Add humor, but also build a story of your own. This film is ingeniously written. The story is excellent and it combines serious and humorous elements and it actually works.
Shaun and his group of survivors serve as excellent contrast for both the comedy and the drama. Of course, like in every Edgar Wright film, the visual comedy separates this film from other comedies that are completely depenant on improvisation.
As the first of the three flavors Cornetto trilogy, Shaun of the Dead is a classic and is even on par with the original George A. Romero films.
