Home Ent. UK Release Date: 01 Jul 2013 Edition: Normal Much-lauded comedy, described by its makers as ‘a romantic comedy - with zombies’. Written by Simon Pegg, creator of the hit TV series ‘Spaced’, the film fuses the style (and copious bloodshed) of classic zombie films with observational suburban comedy. Shaun (Pegg) is a useless but likeable thirty-something who works in an electronics shop in Crouch End. He doesn’t get much respect from his fellow staff, even though he’s standing in as temporary boss; his girlfriend Liz (Kate Ashfield) has had enough of his lack of direction and penchant for downing pints in the local pub; and he doesn’t get on with his stepdad (Bill Nighy). Things get worse when the living dead make their appearance, threatening to spread their zombie curse across the nation. Will Shaun be able to rise from his sofa to save the lives of the two women he loves - Liz and his dear old mum?
