Zombies and English banter—what more do you need? It’s like if your local pub got attacked by the undead. 🍻🧟

Overview

Shaun lives a supremely uneventful life, which revolves around his girlfriend, his mother, and, above all, his local pub. This gentle routine is threatened when the dead return to life and make strenuous attempts to snack on ordinary Londoners.

Roger Ebert

"Shaun of the Dead,’ written by Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright and directed by Wright, is a send-up of zombie movies, but in an unexpected way: Instead of focusing on the Undead and trying to get the laughs there, it treats the living characters as sitcom regulars whose conflicts and arguments keep getting interrupted by annoying flesh-eaters."

The Hollywood Reporter

"Pegg, who co-scripted this clever and well-crafted movie, is a major find."

Common Sense Media

Graphic, over-the-top blood and gore throughout, much of which is played for humor. Humans and zombies constantly try to kill one another by biting, shooting, impaling, stabbing, etc. Characters often drink beer and cocktails and smoke cigarettes, spending much of their time in a pub.

Deep Focus Review

Not since An American Werewolf in London (1981) has there been a film that so carefully balances its dark comedy, three-dimensional characters, and genuine chills.

The Film Magazine

It’s clear to see why this opening Cornetto Trilogy film has come to be so beloved and influential amongst comedy filmmakers, the first cinematic collaboration between Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and Edgar Wright being a superbly written and acted film that lays an outstanding platform from which the trio have reached to great heights.

Empire

Even when in danger of self-destructing, it cadges laughs with smart lines, silly observations or blokish inside jokes about zombie movies, video games and pub nibbles.

BBC - Films

Shaun Of The Dead is hilarious. From the brains behind the superb sitcom Spaced, it's a knockabout caper that will amuse casual viewers and delight genre fans, paying knowing tribute to George A Romero's zombie classic Trilogy Of The Dead.

Alternate Ending

Shaun of the Dead is quite possibly the funniest and most creative comedies of the 2000s, with enough of a pointed study of character that it's more than just a collection of some of the best and most ridiculous jokes in a generation.
