This was the second time I was watching 'Shaun of the Dead'. When I first watched it while I was in my MA days, I got really interested in the zombie-comedy flavour of it. This film is where i started noticing Edgar Wright the director, and his combination with talented comedians and actors Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. I've seen most of his movies now. While 'Scott Pilgrim vs the World' is my favourite work of his, I really enjoyed and still enjoy watching the 'Corenetto Trilogy' and 'Antman', which he co-authored.
'Shaun of the Dead' is perfect with its fake startles, fast cuts, montages, comedic situations involving zombies, and its satirization of the world and many movies we've seen. Simon Pegg-Nick Frost combo is a delight to watch. Nick Frost is simply adorable with his coolness in catastrophe. With enough and more laughs, gore, romance, and fun, Shaun of the dead is a great entertainer. Looking forward to more good works from Edgar Wright.
PS: You can read my note on 'Hot Fuzz', another great movie from the director, here
