When the zombies invade, it takes north London slacker Shaun (Simon Pegg) a while to notice, so wrapped up is he in his own world of the pub, on-off romance with Kate Ashfield's Liz, and the pub. But soon he's involved in a blend of deadpan humour and horror, ending in a John Carpenter-like siege - in the pub. Penelope Wilton and Bill Nighy add some feeling as Shaun's parents.

Tellyspotting, 3rd April 2012Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright's zombie romcom, a tribute to George A Romero's Dawn of the Dead, is amusing, smart and, towards the end, genuinely tense. Shaun (Pegg), a Londoner in a dull job and a fractious relationship, finds his humdrum routine disrupted when almost everyone else in the country turns into a zombie. There's a special geeky pleasure in spotting all the film buff in-jokes.
