With the sense of humour, it’s quite hard for them to not make you laugh especially when they’re working things out together, or when they just to talk to each other in general as you will see in “Shaun of the Dead”, and in “Hot Fuzz”. In both these movies, they both work together, and try to solve things out. In “Shaun of the Dead”, they both try and figure out a way to try and survive from the zombie…

Shaun of the Dead’s cuts are very rhythmic, while Hot Fuzz’s are fast paced. Both of these films also use humour to help get the audience laughing. However both of these…

The core myth of this genre is we all live our lives like zombies, so used to our routine. Shaun of the Dead definitely remythologize the core myth, play with it a whole lot and satisfied every aspect of that point they were trying to make. We are so used to our daily life routines, that a lot of times we don’t noticed or realized what’s going on around us and Shaun of the Dead used the zombies as a metaphor of us. We are like the zombies walking around and going through life and content with…
