Shaun of the Dead isn’t exactly a horror movie or a Halloween movie for that matter but it is probably the best horror movie spoof ever made. Shaun and his best buddy Ed are slackers. They live in an apartment that is paid for mostly by a guy who doesn’t like them and who they don’t like. They are lazy and have little to no motivation. This lack of ambition costs them jobs and relationships. Unbeknownst to them the dead have risen and are attacking the city. Upon realization that the end of the world could be upon them Shaun and Ed embark on a journey to find Shaun’s ex-girlfriend, win her back, protect her from the zombies, find safety, save the world, and prove that they aren’t useless.

This film is extremely funny and well written. It contains many of the aspects we have come to know from zombie and horror films from the past while putting a new twist on them. Simon Pegg shines in both acting and writing this one and it is worth checking out especially if you aren’t a fan of the horror genre because it won’t scare you but will be sure to make you laugh.
