Classic zomcom that's a definite must see.

Shaun of the Dead was released in 2004, directed by my favourite director Edgar Wright. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost lead the cast in this zomcom movie based on Shaun (Simon Pegg) a man in his late 20's trying to prove himself and regain his girlfriend and family's trust in him by leading them in a survival of a zombie apocalypse. The music used throughout the movie is really fitting, completely setting in with the movie. This is a particular thing that I always pick up on with Edgar Wrights movies, the music is always perfectly suited and to me that's somewhat important as you don't want to watch a movie with a random misplaced track playing, even that minor detail can ruin the feel of a movie for someone. There is a great attention to detail, for example; Shaun's T-shirt gradually becomes more bloodied throughout the movie, people who are turning into the zombies starts to look visually weaker as the process of the deadly virus starts to kick in and plenty more but I don't want to go into the movie too far and spoil it too much. The story flowed smoothly but was choppy in the way some scenes were edited to be, not in a bad way at all. It's actually a way in which I personally like and it's the approach in which Edgar Wright seems to take with the Blood and Ice Cream Trilogy films which consists of Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and The World's End. Overall, Shaun of the Dead is an amazing zomcom with a mixture of hilarious comedy that sets in incredibly well with the horror of the zombies and the sadness of the loss of people close to them. This movie has became a classic and rightly so. If you are wondering whether to watch this or not, I encourage you to as it is an all time definite must watch.
