Review of Shaun of the Dead (2004) by Raydon B — 10 May 2014
Panic on the streets of London! The highest placed British film is the horror-zom-rom-com from Edgar Wright with Simon Pegg starring as the Shaun of the title whose life is going nowhere and his girlfriend Liz wanting more commitment.
Alongside his best friend Ed (a crude and rude Nick Frost), they begin to notice the undead populating their suburban street before seeking refuge in their local boozer. Combining foul-mouthed humour, British eccentricities ("we grab Mum, we go over to Liz's place, hole up, have a cup of tea and wait for this whole thing to blow over") and plenty of OTT splatter, the film showed how home-made films could be popular with the masses without the budget or pandering to Americanisms.
FUCK-A-DOODLE-DO!
