Shaun of the Dead [Includes Digital Copy] [4K Ultra HD Blu-ray/Blu-ray] [2004]

You know the type of movie. The main character is just moving along in life, happy, drinking beer, playing video games, and not cleaning up his place. Suddenly BANG, the zombie apocalypse happens. One of the funniest films of the past few years, Shaun of the Dead manages to skewer and lovingly address the zombie genre made popular by George Romero and other horror directors. The entire cast is great, especially the two main characters played by Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. The HD is great quality and The surround is very active, with the zombies growls coming from every direction during key scenes. This film is pretty much an aural and visual assault on the senses. The extras are the same ones you can find on the regular DVD release but they're entertaining at the least. I'd recommend this disc whole heatedly to comedy fans and horror fans alike. The Steele book looks awesome.

I'm not an Edgar Wright or Nick Frost or Simon Pegg fanatic; and sure, there is a bit of nostalgia around this movie for how many times it was watched as a group during my freshman year of college ... but I do find that it was just a well-edited, straight-forward, mish-mash of fun and heartfelt sillyness and seriousness. I haven't really liked any of the follow-ons, they all veered into adding more, stretching out the pacing to a breaking point, and messing up the mish-mash so badly that it just become a total mess of tones that leave me feeling like "what is this movie even trying to be?!?". But this one I think is that reigned in first, but not really first ("Spaced" was already there), effort that is just that right amount without trying to oversell its thin premise. Neat steelbook and it comes with the UltraViolet copy -- all good.

Just doing this to get my points. Have to make it at least 50 characters.

This movie was so good that I have 2 copies and I love the artwork on the steel book

I never saw this film when it came out nor when it was released for viewers on cable and studious and viewers I just listen to watch this on the Blu-ray and I was fully entertain

This is a fun movie as all of Simon Pegg’s movies are.

Zombies have become serious subjects in recent years, what with the phenomenal run of "The Walking Dead" and its super-serious approach to the zombie apocalypse. This satire/parody created by the English team of Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright is a perfect antidote for anybody tired of the whole allegory spawned fifty years ago by horror maestro George Romero. This is the movie that Monty Python might have made had they stayed together. The edition I bought on sale comes in a steelbook case--even better! This makes for a perfect Halloween night at the movies.

I'm definitely picking up the Steelbook editions of the rest of the Cornetto Trilogy! Great packaging and displays nicely. Great features and extras, and the digital copy is just gravy. Shaun of the Dead is certainly one of my favorite movies. Director Edgar Wright did a phenomenal job with creating this film that is not only funny, heartwarming and cool, but also is packed with great homages to the zombie genre and his other bodies of work (i.e. Spaced). Simon Pegg and Nick Frost careers have certainly catapulted since this movie.
