Review of Shaun of the Dead (2004) by Tim S — 06 Aug 2013
Whatever your personal or technical definition of a perfect film is, it's going to always be biased based on what you personally relish. With that in mind, Shaun of the Dead is, to me anyways, a perfect film from beginning to end.
No flaws whatsoever. Am I being biased? Absolutely. I love this movie so much and have done so ever since I first set eyes upon it. Everything about it is pitch-perfect. The cast is rich and entertaining, the writing is strong and witty, the cinematography is gorgeous and the soundtrack is excellent, not to mention Edgar Wright's very strong direction.
I can't deflate arguments about big epic films or even big sweeping dramas being personal favorites among film fans, but when it comes to just the pure inventiveness and joy of filmmaking, Shaun of the Dead is heads and tails above them all.
It just clicks with me the way no other film ever has. I can always pop it in for the sheer amount of inspiration it gives me, or simply for the quality and level of entertainment value that it holds.
I hold it in high regard.
