Shaun of the Dead

Directed by Edgar Wright
2004 · United Kingdom

A zombie comedy that works as an actual zombie film: Wright plants every joke twice, so the second half pays off setups you laughed at an hour earlier without noticing they were setups.

Evil Dead II

Directed by Sam Raimi
1987

Sam Raimi rebuilt his own debut as a Three Stooges routine with blood: Bruce Campbell spends an entire sequence fighting his own hand, and the camera moves like something chasing him.
