Watch Shaun of the Dead For Free

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

For Comedy Month, I wanted to watch this movie because a friend of mine said it was his favorite comedy. The weird thing is that while this definitely made me laugh a lot, it didn't seem like it was entirely a comedy. There honestly were a lot of dramatic moments in this and they were done very well. I can't really say it works better as a drama because it's certainly hilarious. I was impressed at how there were literally dozens of pop culture references in this. I might have to see this movie again just to get all of them. Well, it's about this guy who, after breaking up his girlfriend, slowly realizes that zombies are taking over the town. They don't have as good chemistry as in "Deadpool 2", but it's still very fun to watch. I love how he keeps telling people not to use the word "zombie". We seem to get some of our best material at the very end and beginning. It's a film that really does make you want to look around and notice everything. I personally find "Zombieland" to be better, but this is great too. ***1/2

You'll be alive with laughter, glee, and even some social commentary after watching Shaun of the Dead

A lot of fun and unique, with a lot of good editing and cinematography. Obviously a lot of effort went into this film! The acting was very good and really brought the film to life, just wouldn't be the same with Simon Pegg or Nick Frost. However, Frost's character (Ed) can be extremely unlikable despite adding humour. It can be hard to understand why Shaun let's him ruin his life, but adds to Pegg's character once he stands up to him. The makeup and effects are very timeless and will probably never age. When a certain character dies it is extremely gruesome and silly all at once. Stands out from many other typical zombie films!

'Shaun of the Dead' is an absolute classic. I'm reviewing this movie as someone who has seen it at best 10 times, if not more, over the years and that should be proof of how good it actually is. Admittedly, this movie is much more appealing to a British audience since the British culture and humour may be difficult to understand or unfunny to non-Brits. But for those that do get its wittiness and dark sense of humour, it's hilarious and unforgettable. As a horror fan, zombies and comedies are probably my two least favourite sub-genres, yet 'Shaun of the Dead' manages to combine the two in the most brilliant way. The humour is consistent with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost being the perfect comedic duo to play best friends, Shaun and Ed. It's clear to see that the two have a friendship off-screen that transitions onto screen and provides a very endearing and funny dynamic between them. With most comedy horrors, the humour falls flat for me, but in Shaun of the Dead, despite it being delivered in many forms, it's always effective. There's the traditional slapstick comedy with the tripping, falling, funny faces (Simon Pegg's excels in this), there's comedy in the disaster of the character's and their numerous failings, the dialogue is dripping with snappy one-liners that are subtle but funny and there's even humour in the repetitiveness and mundane nature of their lives which continues even amidst a zombie apocalypse. There's the irony with lines such as "You're dead" and play-ons/foreshadowing of events to come with lines such as, "You've got red on you" and the opening scene with everybody going about their lives like zombies. These kind of subtleties are really what make the movie so genius. Despite the comedic nature, there's also very serious scenes interwoven that evoke emotion and lead to reflection. Although fun is poked at the mess Shaun's life has become and death, it knows when to draw the line and take a step back from the humour. Surprisingly, the cast are just as capable of pulling off the more emotional scenes as they are the funny ones and towards the end there are some very heavy scenes that serve as a reminder that for the characters they're very much living through this hell. What makes 'Shaun of the Dead' so brilliant is that you can see every single detail from beginning to end has been well thought out and meticulously planned. The ending beckons back to the beginning and throughout there are running gags or recurring themes or pieces of dialogue that really define the movie and make it distinctive. The plot and events are foreshadowed or prophesied from the very beginning and everything comes together in a very cohesive way. In my opinion, 'Shaun of the Dead' is a classic in the horror-comedy genre that, although may not be everyone's cup of tea, has the perfect balance of comedy, emotion and gore supported by a brilliant cast.
