Product Information
Edgar Wright's horror-comedy film, SHAUN OF THE DEAD, follows the title character (Simon Pegg) through his mundane life in London. Joined by his immature and ever-present roommate, Ed (Nick Frost), Shaun excels at nothing except drinking pints of ale and watching television, which causes friction with his girlfriend, Liz (Kate Ashfield). Before Shaun can save his relationship, however, he's got to fend off a horde of zombies that are slowly taking over the city. Armed with a cricket bat and a vague sense of direction, Shaun must rescue his friends and loved ones, and bring them to the only safe place he can think of--the pub.Cowritten by Wright and Pegg, SHAUN OF THE DEAD succeeds remarkably well at combining droll British humor with good, old-fashioned zombie cinema. While the movie is often hilariously amusing, it takes its horror pedigree seriously, offering up moments of genuine suspense, and even a healthy dose of gore. Pegg is oddly charming as the put-upon lead slacker, and Frost is appropriately oafish, but the living dead themselves also take up a fair amount of screen time, shuffling and limping in their best Romero form. For lovers of zombie films and other chills-and-chuckles outings like EVIL DEAD II and DEAD ALIVE, SHAUN OF THE DEAD is an instant cult classic.Product Identifiers

Edgar Wright's Best Movie!
The only zombie spoof you’ll ever need. Edgar Wright’s zombie romantic comedy Shaun of the Dead (2004) is a hilarious spoof on all things within the zombie and romance genres. Writers Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg take on zombie outbreaks, origins, survival strategy, group leadership, relationships, and friendships in Shaun of the Dead. I adore how Shaun of the Dead lets the viewer see how our everyday routine likens our mundane existence to that of the common zombie. I adore Shaun of the Dead’s entire cast of characters. Simon Pegg is relatable as a pathetic loser just trying to get by named Shaun. Pegg establishes himself as both a funny comedian and a compelling leading man in Shaun of the Dead. You’ll like his zoned out performance and off hand comments. Simon Pegg kills it in Shaun of the Dead. By the same regard, Nick Frost provides non-stop hilarity as Shaun’s best friend and survival partner Ed. Frost’s devil-may-care attitude and sarcastic commentary to every scary situation never fails to make me laugh. He plays the perfect supporting man for Pegg. Together, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost culminate into comedy gold and an endearing leading pair. Furthermore, Kate Ashfield is wonderfully endearing and absolutely lovely as Shaun’s girlfriend Liz. Her skeptical and frustrated attitude towards Shaun feels justified and realistic. She is much more than Shaun’s love interest as Ashfield delivers a heartfelt performance worthy of a fine romance drama. She is devastating during Shaun and Liz’ dinner date at The Winchester pub when Liz declares her desire for more from their relationship. I’m sure every woman watching Shaun of the Dead relates to Liz. Kate Ashfield is the heart and rationale for Shaun of the Dead. Likewise, Lucy Davis is excellent as Dianne. Her basic suggestions are fun throughout Shaun of the Dead, but her best scene is when she admits her love for David in a very touching moment. Speaking of whom, Dylan Moran is funny as the obnoxious complainer David. His enraged outburst at The Winchester is too hysterical! Penelope Wilton is sweet as Shaun’s mother Barbara. You feel like she genuinely represents every viewer’s mother in any tender scene Wilton shares with Simon Pegg. I have to mention Bill Nighy’s step-father to Shaun named Phillip is just brilliant. Nighy is stern as the overbearing step-father, while sympathetically moving during his send-off to Shaun. You hate saying goodbye to Bill Nighy, but he delivers some of Shaun of the Dead’s acting. Otherwise, Peter Serafinowicz, Rafe Spall, Jessica Hynes, and Martin Freeman all have neat supporting roles or cameos in Shaun of the Dead. Outright hilarious and ridiculous, Wright and Pegg’s dry, clever British humor is witty and thoughtful. Wright even gives the audience emotional moments to create a sense of realism to the silliness of the zombie apocalypse. There is so much detail in every choice word, setup and payoff, as well as repeated phrases for exponentially increasingly laughter. Shaun of the Dead is endlessly re-watchable and impeccably written at only a brief 99 minutes long! Edgar Wright’s direction is immaculate with his hard driven style and easy going attitude that makes Shaun of the Dead feel like you are just hanging out with friends trying to survive together. His directorial style is immediately established within Shaun of the Dead’s frantic pacing and sarcastic tone. Every scene has excellent jokes and you just keep laughing from Wright’s camera choices. Shaun of the Dead is simply Edgar Wright’s finest film and one of cinema’s cleverest comedies. David M. Dunlap’s cinematography frames characters as slack-jawed losers akin to lethargic zombies in every mid shot panning up slowly for a really funny effect. I enjoy the long tracking shots down roads as well as the fast whip pans back and forth during the zombie attacks. Shaun of the Dead is not just well filmed, but done so to efficiently shoot the movie with as fast a pace as possible. Chris Dickens’ editing is now a trademark of Edgar Wright films with hyper fast edits cut so lightning fast that you are never bored by shots held too long. Normally rapid fire jump cuts would be disorienting and annoying, but within the context of a Wright film, Dickens’ editing is genius and masterful. Characters will mention something, then you see it in the next shot or someone else will finish the sentence with the same shot. The image matching is as impressive as the machine gun speed montages of little character actions that signify you are watching a Wright movie.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
