Remember Shaun of the Dead?


This is one of the few Edgar Wright movies I haven't already blogged about! It's actually not one of my favourites but still very funny and fantastically British.



It's basically your classic zombie survival movie, except in this the lead roles (played by Simon Pegg and Nick Frost) are a bit slow on the up take, and  even after they have realised what's going on, they're more inclined to panic and run off on crazy missions than to actually try to stay safe.

What I love about this movie (and this applies to most stuff by Edgar Wright) is that it's funny and perhaps a little silly without being slapstick or derogatory the way that a lot of modern Hollywood comedies are.

If you've seen and liked Hot Fuzz, then you'll love this. Otherwise, I strongly recommend both!
