Shaun of the Dead (DVD review)

Shaun of the Dead (2004) starring Simon Pegg, Kate Ashfield. If you're in the right mood this movie might strike you as dead-on hilarious. Shaun, played by Simon Pegg, is so wrapped up in his own weird little world that he doesn't notice, at first, that England has been struck by a disaster and something is changing people into zombies. Later he and his friends fight the zombies, but they can't help but stop and fight with each other every step of the way. Some of the resulting humor is very good. If you're like me, you'll find the English accents impenetrable, which makes the subtitles feature on the DVD quite handy. Kate Ashfield stands out as Shaun's girlfriend, Liz. Grade: B
