The Cultural Welcome/ Shaun of the Dead

Directed by Edgar Wright

Shaun of the Dead, Edgar Wright’s landmark horror-comedy, returns to the big screen for its 20th anniversary. Students can join us for a special, student-only screening as part of The Cultural Welcome – tickets are only £5.

Shaun is a directionless slacker, spending his days working as a (temporary) manager at his local electronics store and his nights down the pub with his mate Ed. Dumped by his girlfriend Liz due to his lack of ambition and attention, Shaun seeks solace at the bar of The Winchester.

After a big night out, Shaun and Ed awaken to some troubling news: the walking dead have overrun London. Armed with only a collection of household objects, our unlikely heroes set out across a suburban hellscape on a mission to save Liz and Shaun’s dear old mum from the zombie horde.
