Director Edgar Wright’s breakthrough film takes aim at horror movies, zombie flicks, and post-apocalyptic dramas. It’s really funny, but frightening at the same time with each tone over-throning the other.

This was co-writer Simon Pegg’s early stages of the cheeky, stylish irreverence that would solidify the British actor’s trademark for future films.

Pegg and co-star Nick Frost would team up for the movie just ahead, which is a buddy-cop British comedy.
