Movies like shawn of the dead

Shaun of the Dead is a 2004 horror comedy film directed by Edgar Wright, who co-wrote it with Simon Pegg. The film stars Pegg and Nick Frost as mates Shaun and Ed, Londoners who are caught in an apocalyptic zombie uprising and attempt to take refuge in a local pub with their loved ones. The film co-stars Kate Ashfield, Lucy Davis, Dylan Moran, Bill Nighy, and Penelope Wilton. It is the first installment in Wright and Pegg's Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy, followed by Hot Fuzz (2007) and The World's End (2013).

The film drew inspiration from the television series Spaced created by Pegg and directed by Wright. The title and plot also refer to the Dead films directed by George A. Romero. Principal photography took place across London and at Ealing Studios, and was shot over nine weeks between May and June 2003.
