Edgar Wright Week: The World’s End (2013) – Review
by Sarah Cook It has been over a decade since the zombie rom-com Shaun of the Dead hit our screens and changed the face of British comedy from sickly sweet romantic comedies to, well, movies that actually make us laugh.

Edgar Wright Week: Hot Fuzz (2007) – Review
by Jennifer Drewett Growing up in a town on the outskirts of a major city, sometimes one could start to feel restless and morose. “Nothing ever happens in this town,” was a typical thought that ran through my head living in a town on the north western outskirts of Bristol.

Edgar Wright Week: Dead Right (1993) – Review
18 year olds behind the camera often produce contentious and weary products. We’re not saying that young rambunctious filmmakers can’t craft something good, but directing and script-writing often takes time, hard work, and a lengthy career before a movie resembling anything genius is made. Also, who gives an 18 year old the right to make a film better than anything you’ll ever see in cinemas? … Continue reading Edgar Wright Week: Dead Right (1993) – Review
