Shaun of the Dead

Rating: 10/10 (11 December 2005)

Shaun of the Dead was, in mostly every way, perfect. It was hilarious, it was creepy, at times frightening, and the jokes never got old. Shaun, (Simon Pegg), is a 29-year-old electronic store manager who must deal most nights with a problem: spending a good night with his girlfriend Liz (Kate Ashfield) without having his best friend and flatmate (Nick Frost, in an awesome role) there all the time. The result is they are always having a night at the local pub, the Winchester. Ed loves it there, Liz hates it, and Shaun is stuck in the middle. This sets up a roller coaster ride of insanely funny accurances as well as some minor, scary jump scenes. The performances in general are good (especially Pegg who is always on the spot with his great comedic abilities), the writing is well crafted, and the director is well done. Yeah Boyy! 10/10
