Shaun of the Dead

The collective "they" always say that the original idea is always the best. Having already watched its US counterpart, Shaun of the Dead most definitely reinforces that statement.

I have watched this movie a handful of times, and it still baffles me how Simon Pegg and Nick Frost were part of a movie that not only makes zombies scary again, but also takes us to the verge of tears when main characters die - making us laugh all the while.

It may sound impossible that a movie could make you feel so many emotions so far removed from each other on the emotional scale, but take my word for it - the movie's ability to do just that is a testament to its complete and utter awesomeness.

Watch it, people.

Rating: 8/10
