His first feature film, Shaun of the Dead, holds up as a bonafide classic. It's not just a great zombie movie. It's an excellent comedy. Inspired by an episode of the 1999 sitcom Spaced, Shaun of the Dead reunites a ton of old collaborators, including Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, and Edgar Wright himself. Today I'll be looking at one of the main ways Pegg and Wright use repetition to construct a near-perfect script in Shaun of the Dead.
