To the Pub; The Winchester: briefly; we have these two best friends:  Shaun [one of the Writers of this film: Simon Pegg:] he works as a sales assistant and then we have Ed [Nick Frost:] he is currently unemployed and lives to play this fart joke on Shaun. But alongside some of the characters; they find themselves in this zombie apocalypse where Shaun has this bright idea to go to the pub, so that is where we are heading.

Generally speaking: the framework and pacing of this 99 minutes film is very similar to the pacing of this film; from the perspective of it does take time for this film to funny enough live another just after opening section to this film, but after that everything is at minimum good or moving between this and enthusiastic fun.

Art, action and comedy; the first thing I should say it is and I am aware is somewhat obvious, but things can be graphic; but with that being said it can be lots of fun with blood splatter, the highly detailed presentation of the zombies has to be given high praise indeed for their authentic approach and etc, these two friends; talk about with records of Shaun's throw at this zombie: while this zombie is approaching or much later they are in this pub and things are getting a little bit manic; with Shaun needing the assistance of this group of characters as he fires this type of shot gun with the others assisting with reloading or/and directions as they only have one shot gun and limited ammunition

Character developments and performances; they clearly have gone with the approach of even though we are in this situation, we can still have these real-life problems, which yes these characters are old enough and just about wise enough to put them to one side: to put them on the back burner, but for them to be bubbling away, so that when they come back into the forefront it feels and have their presentation to be natural: this level of natural chemistry has to go to the cast of performers as they have this free-flowing chemistry and camaraderie even though some of these characters may be going through something or they may not liking one another; they would all like to get through this situation.

This film receives: 9/10, this film is excellent; it does deserve to be seen once in a lifetime and I even had the great pleasure to go and watch this film at the cinema with the person I watch some of this content with; yes on both enjoyed it immensely and once again yes this film does have some awards accredited to its name such as; 14 Winners that include but not limited to British Independent Film Awards 2004 Simon Pegg Edgar Wright [as Rabid Monkeys Newsreader/other characters including voice work and is the other Writer/Director of this film] and 20 Nominees which also includes but not limited to; back to this event/ceremony Most Promising Newcomer Nick Frost
