![]() These are all real-life scenarios put into a horror film, and thus the comedy works better than expected. Or even the gag where Pegg struggles to shoot a shotgun. I don't watch the news and rarely care to people watch when running to the store, so I wouldn't be surprised if I didn't realize there was a Zombie-apocalypse going on either. ![]() The enjoyment here is clearly with the fact that if a zombie outbreak ever did happen, I would act exactly how these characters did. I much preferred their bro-mance to the romance between Pegg and Kate Ashfield, who plays his girlfriend Liz. Buddies Simon Pegg and Nick Frost play the duo, and brilliantly so. The first of the Cornetto or "Three Flavor's" trilogy focuses on a world in the midst of a zombie outbreak, and two loser friends who don't really do anything with their lives. But Shaun of the Dead is just too dang fun and filled with cliché bending humor that Wright's style proves to be the best thing about this Horror-Comedy. Sometimes a director's style can overtake the story so much that the film suffers for it, and that was the case with the more recent The World's End, in my opinion.
