The Dead Don't Die

What always annoys me about zombie movies or zombie series also happens here. The ignorance that there are really zombies, or at least something terrible is going on, drags on forever. In this movie, however, this is not bad at all, as it is implemented extremely humorously and fits fully into the plot. Ignorance suddenly turns into more than acceptance and everything seems to be completely normal. In any case, the protagonists find a way to deal with it.
Bill Murray is acting wonderfully again. You can't expect a standard zombie action movie with a lot of shooting.
It's something completely different and that's a good thing.
Very relaxed, funny and well-acted movie.

If you are looking for your run-of-the-mill zombie film or black comedy, this is not the movie for you. It is very deadpan. If you are not a fan of Jim Jarmusch, you should probably skip this one. If you are, you'll have a great time!

First rewatch since my initial viewing, and all I can think is that this was so damn fun, and so much 4th wall breaking in obvious-yet-fun ways!

Rewatch this if you haven't seen it since it first released, the best bits are between Bill Murray and Adam Driver, or the side story of Larry Fassenden.

It is a slow burn, awkward and trolling movie. Fun deep troll. The joke is told in a unique way.

Jarmusch parodies the zombie genre. deep America and even himself and his actors.

Not nearly as clever and inventive as it Jarmusch thinks he is being, but not a bad film.

With the star-studded cast, the overall effect of the film does feel a little underwhelming, because it appears that Jarmusch's focus is on simultaneously aping and re-inventing the zombie movie, and doing both rarely works. It also feels like the immense amount of talent on hand was severely underutilized. Tilda Swinton is a magnetic presence whenever she is on screen, no matter the film, but is barely used, and despite Murray, Driver, and Sevigny in the leading roles they somehow also feel the same.

As a light movie, The Dead Don't Die is a fine watch, as a film many Jarmusch fans were waiting for with excitement it might disappoint.

What a [spoiler]mockery[/spoiler], nicely done.

Jarmusch Kevin Smith'd a Tarantino.
