Why Shaun of the Dead Remains a Cult Classic

It was 4 am on a hot summer night, my dads snoring on the couch right to me. I am about to switch the TV off when suddenly a movie begins. I watched and enjoyed every single moment of it. I will always remember that.

I LOVED it!! The comedy, the foreshadowing, the camera work, the emotions—it was all done beautifully well. I would honestly give this movie an honest 10/10! One of the best zombie movies ever!!

I was really impressed with the cinematography in this film; the impending doom happening in the background was honestly unique and clever in my eyes, as I haven’t seen any other film do that.
