There's not much gore here, but there is one very unexpected and Savini-worthy moment in "Shaun" when the zombies rip a living man to shreds, yanking out intestines and tearing off limbs. But Shaun, armed with a cricket bat, is determined to save the woman he loves and nothing is going to get in his way!This film should be seen side by side with Romero's "Dawn of the Dead" as both films cleverly and sarcastically comment on our zombified society and virtually show no difference between the living and the living dead. There's undead flatmates to deal with, "bitey" zombies along the way, petty arguments between friends and Ed's cell phone going off at inopportune moments. Of course, not everything goes as smoothly as planned. When Shaun and Ed finally do realize what is happening, it quickly becomes a race against time: save Shaun's mum, rescue Liz and go to the pub where they can wait out the zombie infestation with a pint and a smoke. Not even news flashes can get through to Shaun, as in an incredibly hysterical scene he channel surfs rapidly, every station finishing the sentence of the one before and giving everyone but the oblivious Shaun the grim news of what is happening in the world. Shaun doesn't notice this fact as quick as he should, but Shaun is somewhat of a zombie himself, lost in his own world and distracted by his own thoughts as he strolls right past the rotting cadavers that now fill the streets of Britain.
And as if this were not enough, the dead have risen and are walking the earth in search of human flesh to feast upon. īad guy, but he has no ambition and seems to prefer the company of his unemployed, flatulent, video-game obsessed slob of a flatmate Ed to anyone else. My suggestion is to go and slowly shuffle down to your local cinema to see this film and give Simon Pegg the money and recognition he deserves so that he can go on and make more films that are this good including what the UK papers have suggested as his next project - `From Dusk 'Till Shaun'. Black Book's channel four star Dylan Moran seemed a bit wasted and so was Martin Freeman from BBC2's The Office - who would have made a terrific zombie! Also, did I spot Matt Lucas from BBC3's 'Little Britain' in this film? I am not sure as I was laughing too hard maybe! These problems however are so minor and can easily be forgiven. Finally, I do have some criticism of this film and that is there is some wasted talent in the movie. It will also be enjoyed by teenagers who filled the cinema when I viewed this film which was terrific, as they laughed loudest. This film is definitely going to be most appreciated by horror fans who know a huge back catalogue of horror films. It was a joy to watch and my only disappointment is that I can never watch this film for the first time ever again - every viewing will forever be a repeat viewing.Shaun of the Dead is not very everyone though - the language from the beginning is strong and the violence was quite surprising for a 15 certificate film in the UK. All I can say is that I cannot remember a film ever being this consistently funny with probably five or six serious laugh-out-loud moments. The funniest being a very subtle snipe at Boyles `28 days later' - see if you can spot it!The only problem with reviewing this film is that there are so many funny moments in it that it is hard to pick any to write about without spoiling the film. However, by the time the film shows him making the same journey again we realise that there is a lot more going on! The scene is played with such exquisite subtleness that it has to be one of the funniest scenes I have ever seen in any film! Not that this film is subtle however, there is a stunning array of visual comedy, one liners and best of all some digs at other films from the horror genre. The first time Shaun plods semi-comatose to the store we simply get the feeling that he is a loser. There are two scenes in the film which seem to summarise this and also shine a light of Simon Pegg as a very clever and funny writer and both scenes simply involve Shaun walking to the nearby corner shop.
Pegg's Shaun is a genuine loser and extremely recognisable too, he's an everyday man who works for an electrical retailer and his life is just plain dull and disappointing - and this is where all the comedy comes from in this film.

And not in the 'American' form of: 'I am a loser but I work in TV and have Jennifer Aniston as my wife' kind of loser as portrayed in tripe such as 'Bruce Almighty' or dozens of other US 'loser' films. The film is an amazing blend of the funny, the violent and the poignant.Pegg has cast himself as one hell of a serious loser in this film. Dead'.In a nut shell, this film is a romantic comedy with zombies or zom-rom-com who appear for no good clear reason although some tantalizing clues are offered.
