He's Got Style!

Edgar Wright's film style is a rom-com-zom type of film.  This includes romance, comedy, and zombies.  He hit it on the spot with his most famous film, Shaun of the Dead.  Wright uses many British sayings and humor to entertain the audience.  A lot of his films are mocks of other things.  For example, Shaun of the Dead was a spoof off of Dawn of the dead.  He likes to use many joeks that are cliche in the movie industry.  If one were to say, "don't open the door" he would mock that feeling and insert into the movie for a familiar sense of humor to the audience.  Thus resulting in laughter and positive feedback because of the reality of it.  Within his sense of humor, he also directed 2 films for one of his ex-girlfriends.  Some of his styles are better known as "Brit Flicks" because it uses sayings and quotes that are popular in Britain along with romance. Wright was most likely inspired by his younger brother for a lot of his comedic videos.  His brother was  a comic book author and illustrator, he directly influence Shaun of the Dead.
