Directed by: Edgar Wright
Starring: Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Bill Nighy, Zombies
This post is actually quite late. I did watch the film on Sunday, it was on the TV and I just carried on watching as I forgot how good it actually is. Anyway, it's Monday's film (it still counts, the rules never said I had to watch one film every day, it just said that I have to watch 366 in a year).
So, some sort of genetic crop thing starts affecting people's health and they eventually turn into zombies; eating flesh, moaning and decaying. Shaun (Pegg) and his best friend Ed (Frost) try to find a way to survive with as many people as possible. Their plan is to go to the Winchester pub and wait til the whole thing blows over (things never work out though, do they?).
The hilarious script and graphic scenes make this film great. It's either a joke or lots of blood, you can't really argue can you?
Although some parts are technically not explained, such as why people are turned into zombies*, it's fine the way it is.
I wasn't quite sure what to make of this film when I first watched it because the story is funny yet scary and sad at the same time, but, seeing it again, it's actually really good.
I've heard it's kind of a cult film (which means not many have seen it yet they have only praise for it) which makes me think that there are probably some people reading this who haven't seen it. Watch it as soon as you can!
"But Joe," I hear you say "I don't like scary zombie films!" Well neither do I but this isn't like the others; it's funny and although the zombies don't mess about (ripping that guy's stomach open anyone?), they are made fun of and are not seen for half of the movie (out of sight, out of mind).
Anyway, watch it if you haven't, and if you have then watch it again.
