I'd argue for this being one of the greatest films ever made, to be honest. What I'm not prepared to brook any argument over, however, is that it has some of the greatest editing you'll ever see. It frequently uses shots like comic book panels, giving us second-long glimpses of motion to provide elegant storytelling without the need for exposition. It's also blisteringly, pants-wettingly funny. The central premise, for those who don't know, is that a nonspecified event causes vast swathes of London to become zombified, but that the tedium of day-to-day life makes this hard to notice until it's all very nearly too late. Notably, Shaun is also the first and possibly the last Edgar Wright film to cast a woman in any sort of meaningful role. Those were the days, my friend, those were the days.
