Much like fellow Cornetto entries Hot Fuzz and The World’s End, Shaun of the Dead is a hilariously quotable comedy. There are a few repeated lines that fans can use as in-jokes, like “You’ve got red on you,” or “What’s the matter, David? Never taken a shortcut before?” But most of the movie’s quotable lines are even funny out of context, like “F*ck...
In addition to being masterfully structured and packed with as many jokes as possible, Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg’s airtight screenplay for Shaun of the Deadis perfectly paced. It doesn’t dive right into the scares, nor does it wait too long. Like all well-paced horror scripts, from Psycho to Halloween to Alien, Shaun of the Deadtakes the time to ...
While most zombie movies’ living characters are completely forgettable, the characters in Shaun of the Deadare relatable. Dame Penelope Wilton’s turn as Barbara is a spot-on mom performance. Ed’s laziness is identifiable and endearing. David is interminable, but everyone knows a David. The most relatable of all is Shaun himself, who Simon Pegg play...
As a lot of recent horror duds have shown, jump scares are difficult to pull off. It’s not enough for a monster to jump out at the audience; it’s all about effectively building to each scare.

A lot of modern comedy movies are just lightly edited improv that don’t make full use of the cinematic medium and only go for laughs through spoken dialogue. From the iconic fence-hopping bit to the two tracking shots of Shaun walking to the store (one pre-apocalypse and one post-apocalypse), Shaun of the Dead has an abundance of visual comedy.
Inconsistent lore doesn’t sound like it would be a big deal in a horror movie, but it is the quickest way to take the audience out of the reality of the terror. Movies like It Followslose some of their impact because the monster that the heroes are up against is never clearly defined. In Shaun of the Dead, the zombie lore is kept nice and consisten...
Well-matched leads are key to any great comedy. Step Brothers wouldn’t work anywhere near as well without Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly’s chemistry. Nor would Booksmartwithout Kaitlyn Dever and Beanie Feldstein’s spark. And Shaun of the Dead greatly benefits from Simon Pegg and Nick Frost’s real-life friendship. The tangible BFF dynamic shared by...
The best zombie movies aren’t really about zombies. They either use the undead to deliver social commentary, like Dawn of the Dead’s satire of consumerism, or to pressure the living characters to face their personal problems. Shaun of the Deadis an example of the latter. RELATED: Shaun Of The Dead's 5 Funniest (& 5 Scariest) Scenes With Shaun’s lif...
While Shaun of the Dead functions as a great zombie movie on its own, it is primarily a self-aware lampoon of the genre. Like Airplane! and Young Frankenstein, Shaun of the Deadis a spot-on spoof with many meta-references to its satirical target. For example, the movie draws attention to the fact that zombie movies rarely identify the undead as “zo...
George A. Romero’s early zombie movies Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Deadestablished the template for entries in the genre: when the dead rise from their graves, a group of survivors hole up in a secluded spot and attempt to ride out the end of the world there. In Shaun of the Dead, Wright and Pegg put a unique twist on this template. Th...
Sep 24, 2004 · “Shaun of the Dead” has its pleasures, which are mild but real. I like the way the slacker characters maintain their slothful gormlessness in the face of urgent danger, and I like the way the British bourgeois values of Shaun’s mum and dad assert themselves even in the face of catastrophe.
Shaun of the Dead is a 2004 romantic zombie comedy film directed by Edgar Wright and written by Wright and Simon Pegg. Pegg stars as Shaun, a downtrodden London salesman who is caught alongside his loved ones in a zombie apocalypse .
