Simon Pegg, Nick Frost & Edgar Wright, vets of the British TV series Spaced, come together again for the zombie comedy Shaun Of The Dead.
What's great about Shaun is that it takes it's zombies very seriously. Zombie film first. Comedy second.
It's funny enough to humor and entertain the casual viewer but filled with enough Spaced in-jokes and past zombie film references to delight the hardcore fans as well. Wright's near perfect direction is complimented with a talented cast and excellent use of "old" zombie film music both original and re-recorded. Fleshed out with some surprisingly intensely emotional moments, great thrills and chills, cameos galore and enough gore to please the splatter-hounds, Shaun is an instant cult classic.
It's great horror-comedy for everybody granted you can handle a little bit of colored language and blood.

The vinyl flinging moment in the garden had me in hysterics.
Even if he was being a twat about it, David wasn't wrong. 5 They should have just stuck with that doppelganger group out of 5
