This movie is a lot of things. It's hard to label it with genres without going into a run on sentence. You could call it a meta socially conscious zombie dark comedy horror film. Read below or listen to our review.

Plot Synopsis for The Dead Don't Die







The film is set in Centerville USA, “A Real Nice Place” and follows two police officers, Chief Cliff Robertson (Bill Murray) and Ronnie Peterson (Adam Driver). Their sleepy routine of handling minor misdemeanors is disturbed when a grizzly double homicide at the towns one and only cafe. Since Centerville is such a nice place, the first assumption is that it was some animal...or several animals that did it, but Ronnie Peterson correctly guesses that it's "zombies, you know, the undead...ghouls". Apparently the “polar fracking” that they have been hearing on the news has inadvertently caused the earth to go off axis and...the dead to rise from their graves.

Is The Dead Don't Die Worth Seeing?



What follows is a great mix of fourth wall breaking, social commentary, and sardonic comedy horror. This movie has a definite indy feel, which isn’t too surprising, since writer/director Jim Jarmusch has made a whole career staying on the edges of mainstream. This is actually his first film that opened in more than 300 theaters. Regardless, you have likely seen or heard of some of his other films, such as Broken Flowers, Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai, Dead Man, and Only Lovers Left Alive. This film actually features 8 actors that have worked in previous Jarmusch films, which has resulted in an embarrassment of riches, including Tilda Swinton, Steve Buscemi, Tom Waits, Chloë Sevigny, Rosie Perez, and RZA. The dialogue is as dry as a Mormon wedding, but the world and characters that Jim Jarmusch has created are as charming as the prototypical little american town that Centerville represents. It is a precisely written, directed, and acted. There is very little fat in this movie, but the story and dialogue is given plenty of room to breath.

I’d hesitate to say that general audiences will enjoy this movie as much as Avengers Endgame, but I think there is truly something for everyone. There were many moments throughout that delighted me, and I found myself laughing out loud as well as feeling intense existential dread. While watching it, my score kept going up and up. I highly recommend it.

The Dead Don't Die Spoilers



Expand for Spoilers
The film opens on a graveyard with Officers Robertson and Peterson responding to a call that Hermit Bob stole one of Farmer Miller's chickens. Already I'm on board. Any movie with a character name Hermit Bob is a movie that I'm on board with.







As they drive back and have small talk about how much of an asshole Farmer Miller is, they begin noticing that "something's weird". They notice that it's still daylight when it's well into the evening hours, and that their watches and some of the electronics have stopped working.



Officer Peterson comments: "This isn't going to end well".



It should be noted that this film starts off very meta, very early on. After the opening scene, the credits role to Sturgil Simpson's "The Dead Don't Die".
