Shaun of the Dead

Edgar Wright · 2004 CE · Film · English · Contemporary

A north London electronics salesman loses his girlfriend and his patience on the same evening, sleeps off the hangover and walks to the corner shop without noticing anything in the street. With his unemployed flatmate he settles on a plan: fetch his mother, collect the girlfriend and wait it out in the pub they always use. Wright's first feature made the horror comedy a British export and began the Cornetto films.
