Synopsis

Our take

Ingenious auteur Edgar Wright and his charming company of actors premiered their talents on the big screen with this lovingly grotesque tribute to Romero’s zombie cinema. Delivering pure comedy and ecstatic gore in equal measure, Shaun of the Dead endures as a timeless cocktail of genre filmmaking.
