Shaun of the Dead (2004)
On Friday, Shaun is in a rut. At 29, he's coasted through life – and still hasn't gotten very far, usually winding up at the local pub, the Winchester. His roommate Ed looks up to him – when he can take his eyes off the TV, that is. Liz is re-evaluating their relationship. Saturday, there are train delays, people fainting in the streets, TV news reports of unexplained calamities – and did that homeless man just try to eat a...? No, it can't be... But, it is – the dead have risen. Saturday's isolated incidents mushroom into a full-on zombie assault and, once daylight breaks, it's Sunday bloody Sunday. Shaun and Ed grab whatever is at hand to repel the attacking zombies, summoning reserves of strength they didn't know they possessed and straining muscles they forgot they had.

With the sudden rush for spoof movies to be made, most of them are absoulutely horrible. Shaun of The Dead is a perfectly great spoof film. George A. Romeros Dawn of The Dead and Zack Snyders remake of Dawn of The Dead are both spoofed on in this britich comedy. Starring just about everyone from the new Hot Fuzz, which was...
