This arrives in the guise of Shaun crossing over to the corner store to buy his morning soda. He doesn't notice the deserted streets or store because he's so hung over from the night before. Before long, our ragtag bunch of heroes is in the midst of a full-fledged zombie apocalypse-of the traditional, slow-moving zombie type.

Acknowledging the cultural differences that strict gun laws bring about, they have to use their wits to commit the requisite head busting, enlisting unwanted LPs (after some debate over the merits of each), cricket bats, shovels and other items for the job. Of course it would be easier if any of our heroes were the slightest bit athletic and had any aim, but they get the job done. Furthering genre-fan fun, director/writer Edgar Wright and co-writer Pegg insert a lot of references to other zombie films-especially when it comes to explaining the source of the 'epidemic'. The 'scientific' explanations given in Resident Evil (2002), 28 Days Later, all of Romero's Dead films-beginning with Night of the Living Dead (1968)-and possibly even Romero's The Crazies (1973) and then some are all mentioned in the background, but resolutely cut off before they're finished. Part of the reason might be that usually, the explanations were pretty ridiculous, and we didn't really care-we just wanted to get to the cool zombie stuff, such as limbs being torn off, guts being eaten, and brains being blown or smashed out of skulls. Wright and Pegg also insert clever nods to the subtexts of zombie films. Shaun looks and walks like a zombie when he's waking up. We see zombie like office workers, retail workers, and so on. There's also an amusing nod to filmic attempts to study and tame zombies, as well as organized militaristic defenses (both very prominent in 28 Days Later, but present in other films as well).

There are interesting, more subtle and original zombie subtexts in Shaun of the Dead, also, such as the 'mirrored' scene where Shaun and his crew meet up with Yvonne and her crew. As long as you like outrageous comedy, somewhat gory horror, and you don't mind mixing the two, Shaun of the Dead should provide an enjoyable ride. Although it is the most fun when you're very familiar with the source material it is spoofing and referencing, it is still a great comedy-horror film if viewed with fresher eyes, and not so much as a spoof.Sometimes a director's style can overtake the story so much that the film suffers for it, and that was the case with the more recent The World's End, in my opinion. The Kims make their way in the service of the Parks, without the latter having any idea that the staff they hired is a family.ДЄpart from its Oscars nod, Parasite is the first South Korean film to win the Palme dвЂ™Or, the highest recognition awarded at the Cannes Film Festival.But Shaun of the Dead is just too dang fun and filled with clichГ© bending humor that Wright's style proves to be the best thing about this Horror-Comedy. This Bong Joon-ho masterpiece shows the story of two families: the poverty-stricken Kim and the ridiculously wealthy Park. Plus, thereвЂ™s a great twist you won't see coming. ItвЂ™s a comedy without a comedian and a sidekick, a thriller without a man in a mask and a drama without theatrical monologues. ItвЂ™s only apt to start the list with the modern masterpiece that is Parasite.
