Tired of zombie movies yet? Well here is one movie that my make you think twice about judging a movie by the presence of zombies in it. Zombies have become like special effects; remember all those movies with tons of big special effects, but no story whatsoever, most zombie movies are like that; however, Shaun of the Dead, is a movie about zombies, it is a movie with zombies in it; to be more specific the movie is a romantic comedy a la Sleepless in Seattle, in a world infested by zombies, and for most of it, Shaun of the Dead is closer from Sleepless in Seattle, than from Dawn of the Dead. The story penned by Simon Pegg who plays Shaun and Edgard Wright, tells about the failing relationship, between, Shaun, a clerk in an electronic store, and Lizzie, the archetype of the girl next door. Is Humanity going to survive another zombie outbreak? Will we find a cure? If you’re expecting to find answers to those questions, you might be disappointed, but you wonder how Shaun will get Lizzie’s love back, then you will probably enjoy this brilliant comedy.

This is an awesome movie. Pretty witty and the zombie make-up and the violence is close to if not top notch. Simon Pegg is a genious.
