Film Review - Shaun of the Dead (2004)

Shaun of the Dead stars Simon Pegg in the title role of Shaun, an electronics worker in the suburbs of London and whose girlfriend is starting to hate him because of his roommate Ed, played by Nick Frost, but one day things in this suburb start to get a little unusual.


Compared to Hot Fuzz, which would come three years after this film, I didn’t enjoy Shaun as much, I felt that the storyline felt like a movie version of their TV series Spaced but with zombies added in and I also felt that the mix of comedy and horror didn’t quite work, but it wasn’t a bad film by any means, it was one I felt that was a little uneven.


In closing, 3 out of 5 for Shaun of the Dead.
