Shaun's efforts to win back the love of his life, Liz, and improve his dull and repetitive life are rudely interrupted when the dead take to getting up and doing their best to eat any living human in sight. Soon Shaun and Liz, with friends Ed, Dianne, David, and Shaun's mum, are partaking in a hilarious battle for survival.
Shaun of the Dead isn't the only zombie movie out there with major comedic value. Many zombie movies through the years have had a funny streak through them in one way or another. But this one seems to have been the first one specifically made as a comedy movie with zombies rather than a zombie movie with comedy. Fantastic performances from a great cast further strengthen the film's cleverly written script and screenplay.
Not only is Shaun of the Dead a great movie, it's immense success probably deserves at least some thanks for other great zombie comedies in recent years such as Fido (2006), and Zombie Land (2009), to name a couple. You've got red on you.
