No. 19- Shaun of the Dead







Film: Shaun of the Dead

Starring: Simon Pegg, Nick Frost

Directed by: Edgar Wright

Released: 2004


I first saw this movie...
2004, drive-in theater

Why I love it...
Simon Pegg is a pretty unique actor. He's incredibly funny and can actually act, so he really packs a punch. But mostly it's how likeable he is on the screen. And combined with the humor and timing of Nick Frost, it's more entertaining than most films coming out right now.
And I like that though it has a comedic take on the horror genre, it's still a really great horror film. No Halloween is ever complete without a viewing of this film. It's got the darkness and fun that we all love about the holiday.
Above all else, it displays why Queen's "Don't Stop Me Now" will always rock.
