Shaun of the Dead

HorrorComedy

Directed by Edgar Wright

Shaun lives a supremely uneventful life, which revolves around his girlfriend, his mother, and, above all, his local pub. This gentle routine is threatened when the dead return to life and make strenuous attempts to snack on ordinary Londoners. From TMDB

    (Some of these are taken from replies) 8. Exorcist 3 is a classic. 9. Jason X is best of the "franchise killer in space" sub-genre. 10. Tremors is a perfect movie. 11. Shaun of the Dead & Slither are the best horror comedies. 12. Prince of Darkness is Carpenter's most underrated movie.

    CORNETTO TRILOGY POWER RANKING 1. THE WORLD’S END: Wright’s most sophisticated blend of pastiche and real, aching human feeling. 2. HOT FUZZ: Possibly the funniest film of its decade. 3. SHAUN OF THE DEAD: Pure delight, bursting with promise. There are no losers in this list.

    There's reasons why movies like "Ghostbusters," "Shaun of the Dead," "Zombieland" and "Cabin in the Woods" work as horror-comedies, but none of the Scary Movies have--and it all comes down to respect for the genre and the audience. Scary Movie wants to laugh at horror fans, not with us.

    As a non-movie-ranker, I endorse this list. Hot Fuzz = the Cornetto film I rewatch the most, but The World's End = the most achieved & ambitious of the three. & Shaun of the Dead is a drop-dead (ha) perfect breakthrough--not his true debut, as he had already made the low-budget A Fistful of Fingers.

    Numerous studios passed until, after 18 months, Working Title Films came on board. By this time, the film was called Shaun of the Dead and it was greenlit with a £4m budget. According to Wright, Pegg hasn’t let him pay back the money he borrowed from him in those months. 5/38

Hilarious, shocking, satirical, anti-AI adventure with an awesome cast, including some British faces you don't expect to see. Black Mirror vs Terminator vs Shaun of the Dead. It's on streaming soon.

When Wright and Pegg wrote screenplays together, they produced gold. Here it is in a 4K set of The Cornetto Trilogy!

    I gifted my parents the Cornetto trilogy for Christmas a few years ago, and while I'm not sure they cared much for Shaun of the Dead or World's End, they loved Hot Fuzz. It is the best comedy ever (only because The Big Lebowski is a film noir, not a comedy).

    I just watched Shaun of the Dead for the first time in twentyish years. It’s extremely solid. The bleakest (and most realistic) part is how nothing about the world changes at the end. Very cute workhorse of a zombie movie. 🎥

    "My, my, here come the Fuzz." Timothy Dalton as supermarket manager Simon Skinner in the 2007 comedy film Hot Fuzz. What happens to this character at the end of the film always has me in stitches. As much as I like Shaun of the Dead I think Hot Fuzz is on a par with it. Post-It Note art.
