Shaun of the Dead (2004)
A slacker's mundane life becomes a darkly comedic fight for survival when zombies interrupt his pub routine.
Shaun lives a supremely uneventful life, which revolves around his girlfriend, his mother, and, above all, his local pub. This gentle routine is threatened when the dead return to life and make strenuous attempts to snack on ordinary Londoners.
How intense is Shaun of the Dead?
Shaun of the Dead is mildly scary, with graphic gore and strong violence. Emotionally it carries some weight. The pace is brisk, and it is a full-attention watch and a party watch. The humor runs dry and dark. Rated R.
