Great Zombies! The story is great, characters perfect,
overall a must own. Shaun a 29 year old electronics store
advisor, lives his everyday in routine. Until the day
his girlfriend breaks up with him, gets wasted, unaware
zombies are everywhere. He goes to the store in the morning,
not realizing everyone around him are zombies! He gets
to the store and then home, in one piece, passing zombies
thinking they are regular people.
When he gets home Ed (Shaun's best friend) finds a girl
in the back yard, who is a ZOMBIE. They beat her down,
and THEN realize what’s going on, quickly they turn
on the TV. Every channel telling them to stay in there
homes, avoid contact and how to kill them. You must 'remove
the head or destroy the brain'.
Through the whole movie you will be laughing. But this
movie teaches us what to do incase of a zombie apocalypse.
First, go get your mother and kill your step father. Second
you go to your girlfriend's house, get her. Third you
go to the pub, drink beer and eat peanuts. Fourth you
sit and wait until it blows over.
A great scene was when they all pretend to be zombies
to walk through the crowd to get to the pub. If you have
not seen this movie, you should. In a lot of new zombie
films the zombies run, but in 'Shaun of the Dead' they
are slower than snails.
Any man who lived a day, where his mother died, best
friend died, two friends died, and a zombie infestation,
deserves to keep his zombiefied best friend as a pet in
his garden. Beyond the laughs and frights the movie also
had a good bit of social commentary on a number of subjects.
As funny as Shaun of the Dead is, one of the most gruesome
scenes has to be toward the end when David gets pulled
out of the window and the zombies rip his stomach open
and feast on his guts while he's still alive, while the
gang just watches. If your looking for a comedy, this
is it. If your looking for a zombie movie, this is also
it.
