#243. Shaun of the Dead

"We have to get out of here. If we don't they'll tear us to pieces, and that is really going to exacerbate things for all of us."

Shaun of the Dead is by far the best horror comedy I've ever seen, and was absolutely hilarious all the way through!! There were so many great lines in this movie that had me laughing out loud. It reminded me a lot of Zombieland, a movie I saw last year and I also loved, but I thought this film was even better!

The plot is basically about a 29 year old man that just lost his girlfriend, and is determined to win her back. In the midst of this, zombies have taken over the city, and Shaun must try to save himself and his loved ones before they themselves turn into the living dead.

I had two favorite characters in this movie; one being Shaun (played by Simon Pegg), and the other was Ed, Shaun's best friend, (played by Nick Frost). They both were hilarious, and I loved the chemistry between the two as well.

 In conclusion, I pretty much thought this movie was awesome. Simple but classic plot, hysterical scenes (my favorite being the part where they're killing zombies to Queen's "Don't Stop Me Now"), and great comedic timing. I've found my love for British humor! I'll give this movie an 8.8/10.
