Shaun of the dead full movie vimeo series#

Her gutsy portrayal of a saint–like woman is captivating and way before its time. Silent screen icon, Lillian Gish, makes an appearance later on as an orphanage owner and John and Pearl’s saviour, Rachel Cooper. Rather than glorifying and justifying Powell’s violence and twisted views towards women, Mitchum depicts him as a full-blown (albeit charming) psychopath. With “hate” tattooed on one hand and “love” on the other, Powell’s villainy and hatred for women (and children) is at the film’s core. The film is like a nightmarish fairy tale, a Grimm Brother’s story full of gothic and malicious nuances. With Ben hanged, and himself released, Powell’s next target becomes Ben’s widow, Willa (Shelley Winters) and the $10,000. In jail Ben meets preacher Harry Powell (a chilling Robert Mitchum) who is really a con man and murderer who swindles lonely widows of their money before killing them. Before he is captured, he convinces his young children, John and Pearl, to hide the $10,000 he stole. Whereever, when Wilson Kingpin Fiskuses as a super collider, another Captive State from another dimension, Peter Parker, accidentally ended up in the Miles dimension. Set in Depression era Middle America, family man Ben Harper, kills two people during a botched robbery. Watch Shaun of the Dead (2004) Miles Morales conjures his life between being a middle school student and becoming Shaun of the Dead (2004). It follows the eponymous Shaun (Simon Pegg.

But in saying that, Shaun is still a fantastic horror movie full of gore, guts and frights. This little known noir gem is often considered one of the most underrated films of all time. As perhaps the world’s first ever zombie rom-com, Shaun of the Dead was hugely influential in developing a new breed of horror movie that uses satire and wit rather than mindless clichés to gain thrills. In saying that, his role in the story is to contrast gender roles in horror, and highlight that the roles of his love interest Katrina (Christina Ricci) and her evil stepmother Lady Von Tassel (Miranda Richardson) are actually the power-players in the film. Ichabod is the opposite of a stereotypical hero he is scared, hopeless and naïve yet uses modern forensics to solve the crime. The paranoid villagers claim that the murderer is the Headless Horseman, an evil demon who seeks revenge for his own beheading.

Based on Washington Irving’s classic tale and set during the turn of the century, it follows timid and shy New York detective Ichabod Crane (Johnny Depp) who is sent to the small village of Sleepy Hollow to investigate a series of bizarre beheadings. The film is perhaps just as much a black comedy than it is a super creepy and gory horror film. Burton is my all time favourite director and his quirky, gothic style is prevalent in Sleepy Hollow. As part of my traditional Halloween celebrations, every year I watch Tim Burton’s Sleepy Hollow.
