Shaun of the Dead - Edgar Wright

Simon Pegg writes and stars in this comedy horror directed by Edgar Wright. Shaun (Pegg) is a useless but likeable thirty-something who works in an electronics shop in London's Crouch End. He doesn't get much respect from his fellow staff, even though he's standing in as temporary boss; his girlfriend Liz (Kate Ashfield) has had enough of his lack of direction and penchant for downing pints in the local pub; and he doesn't get on with his stepdad (Bill Nighy). Things get worse when the living dead make their appearance, threatening to spread their zombie curse across the nation. Will Shaun be able to rise from his sofa to save the day?
