Shaun Of The Dead Description
Edgar
Wright's horror-comedy film, SHAWN OF THE DEAD, follows the title
character (Simon Pegg) through his mundane life in London. Joined
by his immature and ever-present roommate, Ed (Nick Frost), Shawn
excels at nothing except drinking pints of ale and watching
television, which causes friction with his girlfriend, Liz (Kate
Ashfield). Before Shawn can save his relationship, however, he's
got to fend off a horde of zombies that are slowly taking over the
city. Armed with a cricket bat and a vague sense of direction,
Shawn must rescue his friends and loved ones, and bring them to
the only safe place he can think of--the pub. Cowritten by Wright
and Pegg, SHAWN OF THE DEAD succeeds remarkably well at combining
droll British humor with good, old-fashioned zombie cinema. While
the movie is often hilariously amusing, it takes its horror
pedigree seriously, offering up moments of genuine suspense, and
even a healthy dose of gore. Pegg is oddly charming as the
put-upon lead slacker, and Frost is appropriately oafish, but the
living dead themselves also take up a fair amount of screen time,
shuffling and limping in their best Romero form. For lovers of
zombie films and other chills-and-chuckles outings like EVIL DEAD
II and DEAD ALIVE, SHAUN OF THE DEAD is an instant cult classic.
