Shaun of the Dead

 (2004)

Comedy | Horror | Romance



On Friday, Shaun is in a rut. At 29, he's coasted through life--and still hasn't gotten very far, usually winding up at the local pub, the Winchester. His roommate Ed looks up to him-- when he can take his eyes off the TV, that is. Liz is re-evaluating their relationship, particularly after Shaun fails to do something special for their anniversary on Saturday. That day, there are train delays, people fainting in the streets, TV news reporters on unexplained calamities. No, it can't be--but it is--the dead have risen. Saturday's isolated incidents mushroom into a full-on zombie assault and, once daylight breaks, it's Sunday bloody Sunday. As manners and flesh take a beating, it's time to seperate men from meat, humans from zombies, and living from undead. Shaun and Ed grab whatever is at hand to repel the attacking zombies, summoning reserves of strength they didn't know they possessed and straining muscles they forgot they had. Rounding up friends and family, they press on towards the sanctuary of the Winchester. All that stands in their way are hordes of the flesh- eating undead.

Shaun of the Dead Blu-ray, Video Quality

  n/a


Shaun of the Dead comes alive on Blu-ray with a nice looking 1080p, 2.35:1-framed transfer. Although it's not quite as superb as Hot Fuzz, it's still a standout transfer in most regards and should satisfy the film's fan base. The opening minutes in the pub look a bit overly sharp and processed, a trait that carries over the film's third act as well. It doesn't look bad, but it's not quite as natural and film-like as the daytime scenes that make up the bulk of the first and second acts. Those exterior shots take on a tremendous sense of depth and are intricately detailed across the board, with the usual suspects -- clothing, faces, vegetation, and brick-and-mortar -- all looking fabulous. Colors, too, are natural and eye-catching. Grain isn't to be found in abundance; many may not even notice it on smaller displays and at normal viewing distances. It does spike a few times inside the pub in the third act, particularly over the dark backgrounds which themselves sometimes appear overly bright and unnatural. Flesh tones don't appear as overly problematic, though they stray towards a slight golden/reddish tint here and there. All said, however, Shaun of the Dead makes for a solid, above-average Blu-ray transfer.


Shaun of the Dead Blu-ray, Audio Quality

  Array of 5


Shaun of the Dead moans on Blu-ray via a strong DTS-HD MA 5.1 lossless soundtrack. The track features a robust surround presentation that hurls music and sound effects into the listening area with authority, accompanied in their presentation by a hefty amount of bass that several times throughout rattles the floorboards. The track also features a good deal of ambience in outdoor scenes; dogs bark in the distance or a car alarm wails up the street. Directional effects also impress, for instance the sound of a car passing through the soundstage delivers a seamless sense of movement from one area to another. A musical scene in chapter 10 might be the most impressive of the entire mix as it blares out notes at an aggressive volume but also retains a clarity that adds a fine sense of realism to the moment. Of course, the film's action sequences are also first-rate. There's not nearly as much gun play in Shaun of the Dead as there is in Hot Fuzz, but the sounds of violence that populate the film's final act -- including the moaning and stumbling along of a horde of undead -- completes the scene and brings it to chilling life. Also delivering suitably clear dialogue reproduction, Shaun of the Dead generally sounds fantastic on Blu-ray.
