Shaun of the Dead: 2004 British zombie romantic comedy.
Directed by Edgar Wright,
Starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. You might recognise Martin Freeman as Declan as a bonus.
Summary:
Shaun's life is a total disaster: he spends his life playing video games with his friend Ed, forgetting about his mother's birthday (he hates her new husband) and his girlfriend's anniversary (she dumps him). On top of that, he's disrespected at work and exasperating his roomate.
However, a zombie apocalypse arrises just in time to give him... well, even more trouble. He thus decides to go fetch his mum and ex-girlfriend to bring them somewhere safe, namely, his favourite pub. Of course other people tag along -such stepdads, friends and more zombies.
Comment:
I'm not fond of gore and horror movies, but this was fun as hell. I enjoyed it as much as Braindead -probably more as it was a tat less "hollywoodian" and the plot more subtle, or more British, I don't know. I'll recommend it to anyone who likes a good parody and who's not afraid of seing people being teared appart.
