First on my list is Shaun of the Dead. It's a 2004 zombie movie starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost as two friends who somehow miss the impending zombie apocalypse and go on a quest to save Shaun's (played by Pegg) girlfriend and his mother. Gore ensues as Shaun and Ed travel through the zombie-infested city and hole up in a pub with their companions. While there is definitely violence and gore I find that the level of comedy does much to alleviate the ick-factor and the whole movie ends on a positive note.

Always a good choice! I think the end is pretty adorable for a zombie movie.
ReplyDeleteI can't hardly watch a horror movie without nightmares later so I have seen very few. But I do have a Zombie trailer shot by one son starring another son that has well over 200K hits on youtube and other sites that I have seen frequently. Shiver!
