Shaun of the Dead

Shaun of the Dead (2004)

Ending / spoiler

(8 votes)

Of the original group, Shaun and Liz, are the only 'living' survivors. Shaun is forced to shoot his mother when she becomes a zombie. He turns his anger on David, who becomes reluctant to stay with them while Shaun is there. The zombies break through the windows of the Winchester and drag him out and eat him. Diana chases after David's body in the horde of zombies. Ed gets bitten and is left behind in the basement while Liz and Shaun are rescued by armed forces along with Shaun's friend Yvonne. The zombie terror finishes and the zombies all become trolley collectors and general dogsbodies etc. Liz and Shaun live together in Shaun's house. Shaun goes to the shed, where we find that Zombie Ed has somehow got from the basement to the back shed. They both play games while Ed is chained to the wall.

Visible crew/equipment: At Barbara and Phil's house, just as the hooded zombie bites a chunk out of Phil's neck (before Shaun leaps over the car hood) the black mat with two long white marks is visible on the pavement, behind the second zombie (beside the car). It's gone in following shots. (00:46:30)

More trivia for Shaun of the Dead

Question: When Dianne leaves the Winchester to try to help David, what's the background music that plays in the following battle? Does that song have a name so I could look it up, or is there an original soundtrack where I can find it?

Answer: "Burn Down the Sun" by Daniel Mudford & Pete Woodhead, according to this site: http://musicfromfilm.com/movies/shaunofthedead.php. According to http://www.discogs.com/Various-Shaun-Of-The-Dead-Music-From-The-Motion-Picture/release/402748, it's not on the soundtrack (as it's just background music).
