#Shaun of the dead full movie tv
The supporting cast, of seemingly every British TV comedian in existence, is also fine, with Penelope Wilton and Bill Nighy as Pegg's parents particularly good. His brutish friend Ed, as played by the strangely familiar Nick Frost, steals every moment he's on screen, proving to be the better than Johnny Vegas. Pegg, who I'd never watched before, is great, with his typical everyday looks and impeccable timing. Simon Pegg is the star and his crew from SPACED do most of the work behind the scenes. As a zombie film, it's also cool, what with social referencing, sometimes astonishing scenes of gore (we've got people being impaled, beaten, and in one outstanding moment, Dylan Moran getting his guts torn out and his legs torn off) and loads and loads of suspense and action. It works brilliantly as a comedy, with tons of laughs (the dart in the head scene is still my favourite) and plenty of witty repartee. A great caste, a cracking, laugh-a-minute script and a distinctively British twist on the old-fashioned zombie proceedings make this one to watch. Okay, so I still don't know if dogs can look up, but watching this film is a fine and fun experience.Appearing from out of the blue, this is a reminder of the good things that British cinema has to offer. The ending is a little too dark in places but nevertheless the film's winning streak of black comedy makes it worthwhile. Okay, so the overall plot is familiar, but the individual jokes, humour, and physicality of it pay off in dividends.
The reason the film is so successful is because of the originality. The film is chock-full of references even the pre-credits production titles have the music from DAWN OF THE DEAD on them! There are plenty more scenes that you'll miss but that repeat viewing will show.
Reviewed by Leofwine_draca 7 / 10 The first and best Wright/Pegg/Frost comedyĪppearing from out of the blue, this is a reminder of the good things that British cinema has to offer. Overall, just a great film, although it is a one-joke concept it actually works. Then we have great actors like Penelope Wilton and Bill Nighy who are terrific as Barbara and Phillip. Another strong asset is the cast, Simon Pegg is just wonderful, and Nick Frost is hilarious. The cinematography is innovative and unique, the music just adds to the atmosphere, the screenplay is extraordinarily clever and hilarious and the story is original and well constructed. If you love blood and gore, you have found your match with Shaun of the Dead, and if you love offbeat and sophisticated humour delivered in a deadpan way you have also met your match. Some parts do drag, especially the beginning which took a little too long to get going, but I loved the film's deadpan and offbeat style and effortless mix of undergraduate humour and hardcore horror. I thought that Shaun of the Dead wouldn't be my style, I seriously thought I would hate it.
