with all of the three cornetto trilogy films i do
think that sean of the dead is probably my favorite
and certainly i think it was the first one that i saw although hot fuzz is a
very close second shaun of the dead was released in
2004 it does not feel like it was 16 years
ago and really it's one of the films it
doesn't need any introduction looking at the imdb page
just now it has a 7.9 out of 10 rating across
503 000 ratings it's incredible and such a well-loved
film and probably one of the best british
films certainly of this century so if you haven't seen it it is the
first in the cornetto trilogy so called because
usually nick frost's character will ask for a cornetto
or somebody is eating a cornetto and in sean of the dead this is a bit of a
parody on dawn of the dead um well
this the description from imdb is a man's uneventful life
is disrupted by the zombie apocalypse and this is a comedy it's not a horror
and it is fantastic it's very silly fun humor
humor and it's written by edgar wright um sorry directed by edgar wright
written by simon pegg and edgar wright and you just know
when you see edgar wright's name next to something you think this is going to be
a fantastic journey and that's exactly what it is and
the premise isn't anything overly complicated
there is a zombie apocalypse in this otherwise very dull
town in england and all of a sudden these normal guys played
by simon pegg and nick frost have to tackle these zombies and it is
funny i'm not a big fan of zombie films in
terms of the horror genre i love horror it's my favorite genre but in terms of
zombie films i've never that taken by them but a perotic zombie film i am 100
there simon pegg's character is sean that's where the sean comes from
and he and ed get themselves in the most bizarre situations trying to fight these
zombies it's so funny it's a little bit
bloodthirsty but not not in a way that curdle your stomach
some other you know brilliant cast members piercer
fidowitz reef spall um just looking at the imdb
list just now i didn't know trisha goddard was in it how
could i i don't know how i forgot that bill nye jessica hines who is fantastic
and i just love her working with simon pegg they're great in
space they're really good together and the cast is brilliant um delphi
wilton martin freeman matt lucas
keith jegwin is the voice and then rob brydon is an uncredited zombies from
hell presenter it really is really one of the best of
british and obviously without this film
we wouldn't have the rest of the cornetto trilogy i don't know off the
top of my head if edgar wright had planned the cornetto
trilogy hot fuzzing end of the world or if they
kind of came off of the back of this one or if there was always the discussion to
have the three films but sean of the dead is amazing if you
don't care for zombie horrors ignore that fact about yourself and
watch it because it's brilliant if you want an example of a quality
british film with a brilliant british cast this is
the film to go for it's funny it's it's hilarious it really is it's a
little bit slapstick at times it's clever at other times
the characters are likable i think nick frost is brilliant and when he works
with simon pegg they just have the best on-screen
rapport john of the dead also fun fact i used to
think it was a horror genuinely when i was younger and didn't
really know who simon pegg was i used to see the poster and think that's a horror
i'm not watching it no it's it's a brilliant horror comedy
and if you haven't seen it definitely give it a go
