Shaun of the Dead
There comes a day in every man's life when he has to get off the couch... and kill some zombies. When flesh-eating zombies are on the hunt for a bite to eat, it's up to slacker Shaun (Simon Pegg) and his best pal to save their friends and family from becoming the next entree. Satisfy your bloodthirsty appetite with this self-described "romantic comedy with zombies" (zomromcom!), a wildly outrageous, bloody-smart spin on the zombie genre, particularly George Romero's "Dawn of the Dead". Novelist Stephen King gushes "it's a 10 on the fun meter and destined to be a cult classic."
