Director Edgar Wright and star Simon Pegg cowrote this funny and bloody film, which breathed new life into both the zombie and romantic comedy genres. In a quaint British village, average guy Shaun (Pegg), fed up with his humdrum life, tries to convince his ex-girlfriend to take him back. Unfortunately, their reconciliation may have to take a back seat to … a zombie apocalypse!
