A lot of fun and unique, with a lot of good editing and cinematography. Obviously a lot of effort went into this film! The acting was very good and really brought the film to life, just wouldn't be the same with Simon Pegg or Nick Frost. However, Frost's character (Ed) can be extremely unlikable despite adding humour. It can be hard to understand why Shaun let's him ruin his life, but adds to Pegg's character once he stands up to him. The makeup and effects are very timeless and will probably never age. When a certain character dies it is extremely gruesome and silly all at once. Stands out from many other typical zombie films!
This is a fail movie. Too slow. Shaun needed processing time every time someone from his gang got bit. Guess the story writer and director added the so called crying moments to stretch the movie duration to charge us for sitting in the movie theater. 1 star bcz 0 is not allowed.
This movie is kinda the start of non told series of movies which is the result of cooperation between"Edgar Wright" and "Simon Pegg" , The next movie in the series is "Hot Fuzz" and then "At World's End".It's better not to compare any of the movie in the series with each other, because they are separated story wise. But the similarities include, the same directing team, almost the same actors team and the same genre.I saw it as a sarcastic movie about the Zombies idea, the scenes and the comedian parts weren't that funny. But the good thing that they kept everything simple, the idea is simple, the make up and eye lenses of zombies are simple, the killing scenes and the places included are simple, so everything was clear to the point.Finally, it's a good comedy zombie movie that can get you out of a bad mood although it has some points that may get you bored.
"Shaun of the Dead" (2004) is a comical horror that should be the standard for this hybrid genre. The film through the perspective of Shaun, played by Simon Pegg, through his lackluster life that is beginning to fall apart while enduring an inevitable zombie apocalypse. This film is riddled with comedy and a proper splash of gore. The point of this film, other than pure laughter, is teaching the viewer to overcome obstacles, which in this extreme zombie laden movie hits spot on.The director, Edgar Wright, is a comical genius delivering films such as "Hot Fuzz," Scott Pilgrim vs. the World," and The World's End." He provides lessons in his film aside from the comedy and despite the gore. This film is his first major picture and it hit the mark. The editing and music helped to keep viewers locked in on the important moments in the film. Overall, this movie is a must watch for viewers who enjoy a good comedy and gore.
