A Zombie Horror/Comedy Movie Classic
"Shaun of the Dead" will be the next FOLA movie on Saturday, October 6th at 7:00 P.M. at Heald Auditorium at the Ludlow Town Hall.
Shaun of the Dead is a 2004 horror comedy film directed by Edgar Wright, written by Wright and Simon Pegg.
Pegg plays Shaun a shop salesman with no direction in his life. His colleagues disrespect him, he does not get on with his stepfather Philip, and his girlfriend Liz breaks up with him. After the break-up, Shaun drowns his sorrows at his local pub, the Winchester, with his housemate and best friend Ed. At home, their housemate Pete, complaining of a bite wound from a mugger, berates Shaun to get his life together.
By morning, a zombie apocalypse has overwhelmed London, but Shaun and Ed are slow to notice until they encounter two zombies in their garden and kill them with blows to the head. They form a plan to rescue Shaun's mother, Barbara, and Liz, then wait out the crisis in the Winchester. They escape in Pete's car, and pick up Barbara and Philip, who has been bitten, then Liz and her friends Dianne and David. Philip makes peace with Shaun before turning into a zombie.
Shaun of the Dead received critical acclaim. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a score of 92%.a of 7.8/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Shaun of the Dead cleverly balances scares and witty satire, making for a bloody good zombie movie with loads of wit".
