Shaun of the Dead (2004)
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.

The first must-see film of the year.
The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
You'll be alive with laughter, glee, and even some social commentary after watching Shaun of the Dead
I own a copy of this film. I enjoyed every movie Edgar Wright has directed (except maybe Baby Driver) and respect him as one. But the problems I've experienced with the movie is just how bland it looks. I felt like Hot Fuzz and The World's End did it so much better but just the look kinda ruined it for me. Even then though, everything else in this movie is solid. The framing, the transitions etc. The writing , while god did feel like it needed some room to breath. Definitely a great movie though.
Absolutely hilarious from start to finish. Ever since I watched it, it's been my favourite film of all time. If you haven't already seen it, watch it now!
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!
