One of the classics of the 21st century. Edgar Wright's crowd-pleasing zombie comedy left its mark on genre cinema, combining a punk, subversive mood with a cult following for the masters who came before. Not without reason, Wright became a household name and Simon Pegg a cult icon.
Synopsis
Shaun is a 30-something loser with an everyday life without much aspirations or excitement. When he's not working at the electronics store, he lives with his best friend Ed in a small flat on the outskirts of London. The only unpredictable element in his life is his girlfriend, Liz, whom Shaun desperately wants to see grow up and become a man. When the city is inexplicably overrun by zombies, Shaun must rise to the occasion and protect both Liz and his mother.
