It's just one of those days when you're feeling a little...dead.
Buy Milk. Ring Mum. Dodge Zombies
Shuffling into theaters September 24th.
A romantic comedy. With zombies.
Ever felt like you were surrounded by zombies?
In a time of crisis a hero must rise...from his sofa.

This September, aim for the head.
Shaun is having many problems in life. His long-time girlfriend has dumped him due to their almost-daily expedition to Shaun's favorite pub, the Winchester. His temporary management job isn't going well at Foree Electronics, with his subordinates not even giving him the time of day. His deadbeat flatmates, Pete and Ed, are at each others' throats. And, oh yeah, London is overrun with multitudes of zombies. In the midst of this, he must save himself, Ed, his ex, his mom, and his precious record collection. There is a time when a hero must rise...from his couch.

The Best of British
posted on 28 Aug 2009One of the best films I've seen this year. The humour and characters are completely British. In what other Zombie movie would the protagonist stop to have a 'cup of tea' after discovering a zombie in their back garden or not notice that they have almost slipped over in a pool of blood when getting their morning cola. It was amusing spotting all the current heroes of comedy in supporting roles, eg, Matt Lucas (Ed's counterpart) from Little Britain and Rock Profile; Reece Sheersmith, the goodlooking one from a League of Gentlemen.; Martin Freeman and Lucy Davis who were the nation's sweethearts in The Office.Excellent - Then again I would not expect anything less from Simon Pegg.Be warned though, even though it is described as a 'Zom Com' the death scenes are still pretty horrific.
one of the best and funniest zombie movies ever, think coronation street... with zombies
posted on 26 Aug 2009Shaun is an everyday slob who when we first meet him is having a "serious discussion" with his girlfriend about their relationship among her two friends and his drunk oaf of a pal. as this film progresses Shaun realizes his downfall with her and must get her back...after the zombies get there of course... what a perfect idea for a horror movie, this is British comedy at it's finest. the beginning of the movie is Shaun's humdrum existence, living with three friends and working at a dead end job. trying to get along with his step dad. Then as his day progresses there are subtle hints that some kind of illness is going around, something deadly indeed. in fact, when Shaun and his pal "Ed" first see one of the infected, they just think she's drunk and then impale her... and that's when the horror movie begins and yet it's still so funny. this movie will be forever known as the funniest zombie movie ever made (unless of course you prefer dead alive, which i do not) it makes me think of Coronation Street every time i watch it, that is a messed up Halloween edition. i think no one could have pulled off this movie better than the Brits. if Americans had their way with this, Shaun would be an advertising exec, with a model girlfriend and a hunk best pal, who encounter zombies but in a mainstream commercial way, which i think wouldn't work, in fact, i don't Americans could ever top this kind of film in general, but that's another topic. all in all, this movie will rock your boat and then some.
"You've got red on you"
posted on 14 Aug 2009This is the best romantic comedy zombie film ("rom com zom") you'll ever see, and possibly the ONLY you will see, so watch and enjoy Shaun of the Dead now before it becomes a cult classic. And trust me, it will. Stuck with a dead-end job, having no motivation in life and living with a sluggish flatmate who only plays video games or drags him to the pub, Shaun (Simon Pegg) is your typical underachiever. In fact, his lazy attitude and inability to break this pattern drives his girlfriend Liz (Kate Ashfield) to break up with him, leaving him in an ever deeper rut than before. Shaun is so depressed with his situation that he does not even notice the ongoing zombie invasion that turns recently-diseased people into the living flesh-eating dead. It is not until the zombies literally show up at his doorstop and try to eat him and his flatmate alive that they pick up on that something is wrong. Priceless. Shaun of the Dead is the most random and simultaneously brilliant parody I have ever seen. Sure, there have been many well-crafted spoofs over the years (Young Frankenstein, Airplane! Army of Darkness, etc.) but where most films concentrate on parodying one genre, this film takes care of spoofing ALL genres--horror, comedy, romance and it does to in a genius way. For example, when Shaun and the rest seek refuge from the zombies at the local pub, barricading themselves in, it turns into a pastiche of From Dusk Till Dawn down to the very weapons they use, positions they stand in and the zombie attacks they suffer. Then you have the prototype of an anti-hero, Shaun, who turns into a Stallone-like tough guy during a short period of time in the pub, wearing a sweaty bandanna across his forehead and holding a rifle in his hand, generally looking like the most badass character in action films. Just the way the dialogue cuts to an action deserves a great deal of credit as it is perfectly handled. Another thing, I often find myself getting annoyed at the reactions of the characters in horror films when they are faced with danger - they either don't look scared enough or they screw up their reaction in other ways - but in Shaun of the Dead, this is perfection. I don't expect I need to comment on the blatant allegory for the zombie generation of our time and the way people in big cities in London are not entirely different from zombies... a part of the reason why Shaun and his friends take time to realise something is wrong.9/10
Campy Good Fun
posted on 12 Aug 2009I had been waiting for this one for a while... I heard a lot about this movie on various horror movie forums I participate in...This movie was great! I thought that the classic zombies (the non running type), humor and cheese made Shaun of the Dead a good campy comedy-horror flick... The cast was well put together (I could tell they had some fun with this one) and the comic timing made for some good hard laughs from the audience... Overall, I would say this one was a good date or group flick... Hilarious! I give it an A.
Very Funny.Harsh Satire.The Greatest Horror-Comedy of 2004!

Very entertaining, very funny...the first time
posted on 02 Aug 2009A very entertaining and very funny film. Not as funny as expected (I had pretty high expectations) but very funny, especially when Shaun is so oblivious to the zombies around him. The gore is very satisfying too. I loved this movie. My brother wasn't all that excited about it, but then again, he liked Night at the Museum, so I'll discard his review. The relentless gore made it even funnier. I sort of wasn't that bummed when Ed died, he was kind of annoying anyway, although I was surprised that they killed him off, I think they thought he was actually funny or something.You actually sense something going on with Shaun and his babe. Great acting from Simon Pegg and Kate Ashfield.Funny, but not very re-watchable.7 mauled Englishmen out of 10.
A Cult Classic? You bet!
posted on 31 Jul 2009Shaun of the Dead successfully splices drama, comedy, and horror into one great film! From start to finish, Shaun of the Dead keeps you entertained and gasping for more.The photography and direction of this film is superb! From the opening shot at Winchester to the unique cuts of Shaun preparing for work; they knew what they were doing!Writing is by far the absolute best I have seen in a long time. Every joke and line is delivered well (not only because of the acting skills, but by the structure itself).This is going be one film that will live on to see light another day...JVL, film maker
Survival of the Ineptness
posted on 31 Jul 2009Shaun of the Dead is one of the funniest Zombie movies I've ever seen. Shaun who is retail worker and Ed who stays home all day fight zombies and saving Shaun's girlfriend, mom and others to ensure their future survival. Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright took their written cues from the original Dawn of the Dead movie dubbed Rom Com and Zom. I recommend this movie on DVD and watch for Pegg and Wright's cameo appearance in Romero's new living dead movie series call Land of the Dead. Simon said in an interview about other zombie movie during the Jimmy Kimmel show, quoting about 28 Days Later to 28 Coffees in which these zombies were drinking too much coffee going after the living. Anyone for a drink?
Laugh Until you die!
posted on 17 Jul 2009My god, if they're ever was a movie that made me laugh so hard, it would be Shaun of the Dead. I went to go see it on Friday September 24th, 2004 and thought this is going to be a funny movie, and I was right.I saw the trailer for it while watching Alien vs. Predator with my boyfriend, (and might I say seeing the trailer was the best part of the entire movie) and I was not sure if I should laugh or, raise my eyebrow in confusion, but I knew it was going to be good.When the movie started it was Shaun and his mates living their lives, simple right, but somehow, with no explanation people began turning in to zombies, and eating people, except for Shaun and his friends, which was weird, but its British right? The movie was a perfect combination of happiness, sadness, comedy, and angst, that I would recommend this to all people who can understand what in the world, they are saying, and want to laugh until they die
Great movie
posted on 17 Jul 2009Watched it again last night on one of the Pay channels (Starz?) and was in stitches throughout. I have it on DVD and no matter what, when it comes on IF I am around the TV that is what I am watching! This is one of the best " Horror" movies I have ever seen and I Have seen my fair share from good horror movies (The Thing, The Original Night of the living dead) to really, really bad ones (too many to name). Being from the South in the United States , "typically" southerners aren't expected to "get" British humor but I am not like my fellow southerners. Please understand that this is not a dig at my fellow countrymen, but at the "sense of humor" in this country in general. I latched onto this movie the very first time I saw it and immediately "got" all the jokes from beginning to end. Blame Monty Python, Fawlty Towers and Benny Hill. All that being said, if you haven't seen this masterpiece you need too. If you enjoy horror movies, zombie movies and/or British humor then this is a must see.
Brilliant launch of Pegg on film?
posted on 15 Jul 2009I've loved Simon Pegg for years, ever since his early work with Steve Coogan, and am very glad he's finally starring in his own film! 'Shaun of the Dead' was exactly as I hoped it would be; funny, gory, intelligent but stupid (if that makes any sense to anyone) and farcical without becoming overly silly!The acting talent was great, my favourites being Lucy Davies, Dylan Moran and of course Pegg himself, and it was great to see Jessica Stevenson popping up! I genuinely jumped a couple of times and (SPOILER!!!!!!!!!!) when Dylan Moran was literally taken to pieces I cringed big time!'Shaun of the Dead' is a great film with everything going for it. It's hard for me to pinpoint anything that's really wrong with it to be honest, although a couple of my friends thought some parts were just TOO serious for the surrounding material. I disagreed, I thought they handled the comedy with the tragedy, and the premise of the story is initially a tragic one, very well indeed, Pegg proving to be, like many comics, a decent comic actor. After the purile trash that was 'Sex Lives of the Potato Men' (hopefully will be wiped from all our memories, there's 5 quid and 90 minutes I'll never see again) 'Shaun of the Dead' has restored my faith in British cinema, and as a mark of patriotism and respect for the film, I'm rating it 10!
best zombie flick EVER!
posted on 15 Jul 2009anyone going to see shaun of the dead expecting an all out spoof had better think again. although the film makes some reference to dawn of the dead & 28 days later, this film is unique. although the film is funny, even during the most poignant of scenes, it does get extremely heavy, and maybe even a bit tearful (though this is dealt with extremely well, Pegg showing that hes not just a comedian but a SUPERB actor too). i give shaun of the dead two thumbs up, i will definately be buying this when it comes out!
Top 250....nah. But it's still very good.
posted on 15 Jul 2009This was a very good film, but like many recent films, its score has been inflated on IMDb thanks to young viewers that have no appreciation for anything made before they were born--hence older deserving films often are rated lower even though they are excellent films. As a result, lots of mediocre or above average films are given astronomical scores (a great case in point, the film MEMENTO). Now this ISN'T to say that SHAUN OF THE DEAD is a bad film--it's very good, but it isn't so good that I would rank it in the IMDb Top 250! In fact, it's a darn clever film that manages to inject life into a dull genre (zombie movies--when you've seen one, you think you've seen them all). In particular, it's tongue-in-cheek sense of humor was quite refreshing and the film had one of the best endings I have ever seen--I was laughing about the shed scene for weeks. Excellent, refreshing and clever--just NOT Top 250 material.
An now for something different...
posted on 09 Jul 2009Boys, this movie rocks! It is a peculiar, really British sort of a gory comedy, a fun zombie movie, that it is full of blood and drama inside.It is the story of a clerk that become a hero and at last find the courage to front his girlfriend and win her love, losing his mom and his best friends in doing so. It is also a very good approach to the usual zombie film , the classical one this time (no running berserkers here, but the old, slow, brainless, cannibal beasts that George Romero used to become the legend he is. After 28 days later, here is another little gem from the Isles (and the final scene, with the Queen music on background, is a great idea - after all, most of us are already zombies in our normal life)
The greatest zombie movie of the past 20 years?
posted on 05 Jul 2009With recent drivel including Love Actually, Notting Hill, Bridget Jones and the like giving the impression that the only successful British movies are bland romantic comedies featuring Hugh Grant, it's not only refreshing to see a film like Shaun Of The Dead bucking the trend, it's also refreshing to see a British film being so damned good.Paying respectful homage to the work of George Romero, rather than parodying and poking a mean finger at the daddy of the zombie genre, Shaun Of The Dead is a film that combines comedic brilliance, genuine jumps and believable romance in a very complete package.The cast features the cream of British comedy (including stars of shows such as The Office, Black Books, The League Of Gentlemen and, of course, Spaced); the writing is impeccable, and Edgar Wright's brilliantly energetic direction gives the film all the impact of a Hollywood blockbuster without the budget.If this doesn't achieve the success it deserves at the box office, the movie-going public frankly has no right to complain ever again about the output of the studios.
Great fun with plenty of laughs and scares
posted on 27 Jun 2009I'm going to keep this short and sweet. Shaun of the Dead is a great film. It's funny, scary, and most of all just a great time to be had. If you're a fan of horror/zombie flicks, I highly recommend it (especially if you're one of the Dawn of the Dead/Romero lot, as I am, and sick of cheap rips at zombie horror like RE:A and Cabin Fever). I can't really say enough good things about Shaun, but there is one problem... it's too damn short. I guess it's just like any good thing, you'll leave wanting more. I don't think it takes away from Shaun, but the movie really had me craving more laughs and definitely more locales. Great film though, go see it and you won't be disappointed.8/10
Excellent
posted on 23 Jun 2009Shaun of The Dead is a really funny comedy,it sort of makes fun out of all the zombie films ever made.And for those of you who think that the zombie films are silly any way and laugh at them, you will find this hilarious.Shaun is not having a good day his girlfriend has dumped him because he spends too much time with his slob of a mate Ed who sits all day at the computer and does no work.And she is also fed up with them spending so much time down their local pub The Winchester. Shaun is also being undermined in his job by a young group of trainees who he is supposed to be in charge of. His friend Pete who he shares accommodation with is sick of lazy Ed and wants him out. Because Shaun is so depressed he gets drunk one night with Ed,and neither of them realise that the whole of London is being took over by flesh eating zombies.Every where they are walking chaos is happening all around them.Where they keep flicking over the channels on the TV,they keep missing the latest news on the chaos,so they remain totally oblivious. Its not until Ed notices a girl acting very odd in their garden that they decide to go out to investigate,thinking that she is drunk they ask her to leave.She then starts to attack Shaun he pushes her, she falls back onto a pole that is sticking up out of the ground, the pole goes right through her and lots of blood spurts out,they think they have accidentally killed her until she suddenly rises up.They now realise something is definitely wrong.The rest of the film involves Shaun and Ed trying to rescue girlfriend Liz,Shauns mum and what turns out to be a few others,Liz's college friends and Shauns step-dad. Shauns major plan is that they should all make their way to the Winchester pub where they will all be safe.But will they be?The film towards the end reaches a big anti-climax,i wont say any more. This is one of the funniest films I've seen for a long time and its not a bad horror flick either.The acting is very good,it combines comedy ,tragedy and romance all in one which isn't easy to do.The actors are little known all though im sure we will be seeing more of them in the future.
7.8 / 10, Is it that good? Yes its that good.
posted on 13 Jun 2009Shaun of the dead is every bit as good as you've heard it is, although reading some posts about when the movie gets released in the US the rating will go down for sure. This is a British comedy / horror & i don't think many Americans or Canadians would appreciate this as much as it should be. Shaun of the dead has some a lot of funny dialogues & gore at the same time. This movie is being theatrically released on the 7th of October 2004 in Australia, i actually downloaded this movie of the internet & watched it on my pc. Shaun & Ed are the two best characters in this movie Ed being one of the funniest characters i've seen a long time. I've never seen any of the actors in this movie before in my life, & for me to like a movie with no known actors is usually hard for me to like, but this is an exception. Shaun of the dead is one of the most cleverest spoof movies i've seen. Definitely one of the funniest movies i've seen, i was watching this alone & i was laughing out loud, which proves that this is one funny movie. This movie will be recognised a cult classic in years to come. A movie i will always remember. Nothing but a perfect 10 / 10 for this brilliant comedy / horror.
One of the best doses of stupidity in existence
posted on 13 Jun 2009British movies usually do not seem to entertain people so much. Though the critically acclaimer comedies like 'Bend it like Beckham' and 'Four weddings and a funeral' – do seem to be credited with a certain kind of humor, none have been as great as this.This movie makes is so funny that it can officially be UK's answer to 'Dude, where's my car?'. The stupidity in this movie would cause a laugh riot which is filled with enjoyment. Though the casting is almost completely unknown, it does not outline the fact that the actors in this film are incapable of having great comedic potential, and using that potential to make this one great comedy. Simon Pegg who plays Shaun, and who also wrote this movie, has undoubtedly given a breakthrough performance. This would be an excellent recommendation for all people who liked 'Dude, where's my car'. However if the British accent annoys you, this movie would be unbearable
"Shaun" is anything but dead; one of the best films in recent years
posted on 28 Aug 2009Let me begin by saying that I am a huge fan of horror-comedies. I mean, what are two of the strongest humor emotions? Fear and happiness. Horror-comedies mix these two elements, and if done correctly - which is no easy feat - you can have one darn fine movie. And "Shaun of the Dead" is just that. I've been looking forward to this movie since I first saw it advertised in U.S. theaters, and I can sincerely say that it lived up to the highest of my expectations.Simon Pegg (who has gained some popularity overseas for performing in the British TV show "Spaced") stars as Shaun, a 30-year-old Brit who is stock with a crappy job and a crappy stepfather (Bill Nighy), among other things. Then there's his slacker best friend, Ed (Nick Frost). When his girlfriend Liz (Kate Ashfield) dumbs Shaun, it looks like his life has taken the final step towards hell.But Shaun is given a chance to win back Liz, as well as fix things up with his mother (Nicola Cunningham) and stepfather. How? Simple: he just has to defend them all against a neighborhood full of zombies.I've always been a fan of movies like "Evil Dead II", "Re-Animator", and George Romero's original "Dead" trilogy. As a fan, I can say that anyone else who liked those movies will love "Shaun of the Dead". The script, by Edgar Wright and star Pegg, knows when to bring in some comedy and when to let loose the horror. (When it does bring in horror, the casual moviegoer's stomach will no doubt flip - ever seen a man get ripped to pieces right in front of you, while he's still living, and his guts eaten?) The cast is terrific, Pegg especially. You care about the characters, and the only one who I didn't care about was ... uh ... dealt with. Edgar Wright manages to make the film look like a comedy when there's something funny going on, but when there's any horror (especially towards the end of the film), his direction becomes quite dark.What can I say? This is one of the best films of the year, and easily the best horror-comedy in years. I was entertained throughout the entire film. Hilarious and absorbing, "Shaun" is anything but dead.
