The Dead Don't Die

The Dead Don't Die tries to be a comedic take on the zombie movie. But it's directed by Jim Jarmusch, who's known for this more sophisticated, deep-dive films that often deal with some very existential themes (while still being funny).

But, just when I thought I was ready for Jarmusch's take on the zombie movie, I wasn't really ready for just how bad The Dead Don't Die really is. I was surprised at how slow and boring the film was, with its cast of great actors just wandering around, numbly reciting their lines as if they were sleepwalking.

Maybe Jarmusch was trying to say that these people were already zombies, even before they become the undead? Who knows? And, at this point, who cares? In addition to being dreadfully dull, The Dead Don't Die was made by someone who clearly regards science fiction/horror/fantasy as being infantile and not really worth any deep thought, anyway.

But, as you can tell by the pictures here, I've managed to find something worthwhile. Both Tilda Swinton and Selena Gomez have some very brief BF scenes. If you're still looking for a good zombie comedy, check out Zombieland and its sequel.
