Shaun of the Dead (2004)

This film is a Zombie homage as it has loads of references to Horror films over the past forty years. For those who watch or have watched loads of horror films then I'm sure they stick out like a sore thumb for but someone like me who's a bit squemish about gore I dont get the references however I have watched this story many times and alway find to be extremley funny. This is partly due to Nick Frost and Simon Pegg who are brilliant throughout the film.

It has loads of British stars which helps make this film stand out and shows why with a budget of £3.1 million ($5 million) it went on to make £19 million worldwide. Everyone in it was very funny and the story moved along at a fast pace and the ending was the best way for it to end. It was neither too soppy or too grim.

Shaun of the Dead is a great film and the only debate is whether its better or not than Hot Fuzz
