Shaun of the Dead

ComedyHorror99 min

Shaun is a London electronics clerk whose life rarely stretches beyond work, his girlfriend Liz, his mum, and pints at the Winchester. Simon Pegg is Shaun, drifting through his thirties with his flatmate Ed — Nick Frost’s partner in inertia — until a zombie outbreak turns their familiar streets into a survival problem. Directed by Edgar Wright, the film treats the apocalypse as both neighborhood nuisance and personal wake-up call, folding deadpan relationship trouble, pub habits, and flying vinyl records into a story about a man trying, very late, to get his act together.
