The Dead Don't Die

It's his dry and sober way of filming. But on the other hand, it was funny at several points. There were scenes, I did really laugh out hard and for quiete some time. If there weren't so many traces between the funny or laughing moments, it would have get a higher rating by me. A very ironical view on the zombie genre. Well, I was entertained and even though this movie is no real burner, I think it's still ok to watch. Bill Murray is great as ever. In my opinion the movie is better than most people rated.

In Centerville, the undead rise when there is a shift in the axis of rotation of Earth. "The Dead Don't Die" is the slow development of this storyline following several dwellers of this town. Films by Jim Jarmusch are usually cult and slow paced. His navigation through the zombie genre is an uneven film, with at least a good surprise like the flying saucer scene and many boring and unfunny moments. The cast composed by many veteran actors and actresses is a plus but the final result is neither cult nor worthwhile spending 1h 44 min watching. My vote is five.

Title (Brazil): "Os Mortos Não Morrem" ("The Dead Don't Die")

I had this movie playing while wrapping Christmas gifts recently and it was the perfect movie for this task. It's a bit slow moving and calm, except for the few zombie scenes, so I don't feel like I missed much when I wasn't paying full attention. I tried finishing it after gift wrapping and realized that it's not as good when giving it my full attention. So, I recommend having this on while washing dishes, folding laundry, or doing any general housework. It was quite enjoyable, overall.

I need 100 more characters to submit this, so...

All the actors were good and I enjoyed the banter between Bill Murray and Adam Driver.

Such a quirky little ditty, but not for everyone mind you. Brimming with irony, stilted yet hammed up dialogue and the usual casting choices you would come to expect from Jarmusch.

This is a comical, almost parody-like Zombie film with a social commentary that comes more apparent further into the runtime. Quite liked it and found it quite humorous, but I am a fan of Jarmusch's previous work and much of the cast.

I saw the trailer and all the great actors, so I was naturally excited. Then I saw the whole thing and was extremely disappointed. Such wasted talent. The acting of course was phenomenal but the writing was just dead.
