Shaun of the Dead (2004)

In Crouch End, London, electronics salesman Shaun has no direction in his life. He is disrespected by his colleagues, especially Noel, does not get along with his stepfather, Philip, and is dumped by his girlfriend, Liz. Heartbroken, Shaun gets drunk with Ed, his slacker best friend, at their favourite pub, the Winchester. At home, Shaun and Ed’s flatmate, Pete, complains of a bite wound from a mugger and berates Shaun into getting his life together.

By morning, a zombie apocalypse has overwhelmed London. Shaun and Ed are slow to notice until they encounter two zombies in their garden, whom they beat to death with a shovel and cricket bat. They devise a plan to rescue Liz and Barbara, Shaun’s mother, and then wait out the crisis in the Winchester. They escape in Pete’s car and pick up Philip, who’s already been bitten, and Barbara. They then use Philip’s car to pick up Liz and her flatmates, David and Dianne. Philip reconciles with Shaun before becoming a zombie.
