Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright's follow-up to Shaun Of The Dead gives the action buddy genre a very British make-over. Pegg is the keen-as-mustard cop reassigned to a sleepy village where all is not as rosy as the locals make out. It co-stars Nick Frost and gets funnier every time you watch it.

Interview: Edgar Wright, film director

Fans of Edgar Wright like to quote his work back at him.

Siobhan Synnot, The Scotsman, 31st August 2010

Simon 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.
