The Dead Don't Die

As an asian guy, I totally lost interest in the movie after witnessing Tilda Swinton playing with a JAPANESE katana in front of a representation of Buddha and saying in CHINESE « Amitofo »

It almost worked - the dry humour, a commentary on modern apathy, and stella cast - but - it was boring, the fourth wall breaks didn't work, and ultimately I left feeling meh, if not a little annoyed for the time wasted watching it.

The acting is really awkward and stilted. I realise it's a comedy but it's still unrelatable and the characters are so unnatural. This style is so annoying and makes it hard to watch to the point that all that I can think about is watching anything else. Even at 1.5x it's borderline unbearable. The occasional funny ideas are lost in the attempt at humour. Right I did my best but I had to turn it off and that automatically gets it a 1. Possibly the worst big budget film I've ever seen some, but not all, of.

Don't go into this film expecting a generic zombie film, it is an arthouse film with themes that drift in and out and storylines which go nowhere. I admit I was underwhelmed at first but if you watch the film with the knowledge that its an almost semi conscious stream of story then you will enjoy it. There are several running gags which make up for the somewhat boring visuals. The comedy is deadpan but enjoyable.

Kid actors ruined it for me, God they're awfull.

Simplesmente um dos piores filmes que eu já vi do gênero. A prova de que não há elenco que salve uma produção, afinal, o que coloca louros em uma história é qualidade da direção e o norteamento do roteiro. E cá entre nós, o argumento do filme é ruim. Baixíssimo embasamento na realidade, parece que quem escreveu o roteiro não fez uma pesquisa sequer para que a história tivesse aquele mínimo de credibilidade que nos faz querer assistir um filme até o final. Mudança no eixo da Terra e zumbis, causados por exploração de petróleo nos polos? Quem escreveu esse roteiro? O Eric Cartman? Não consigo acreditar que depois de concluído, alguém olhou para o diretor e disse "está ótimo, vamos lançar". Completamente decepcionado.

Very dry, boring and random, very souless movie.

I watched this on Netflix and fell asleep the first time through; so, I tried watching again and I just couldn't finish it... I stopped it with 14 minutes remaining on the counter 😕 It was so boring and just full of dry humor... There's a couple interesting bits in there but not enough to save this movie for me.

To be honest, I started watching it thinking it be a bit of a zombie spoof like Shaun of the Dead, but was left with the recurring notion that this movie seemed to be a welfare project for actors... I was really impressed with the acting skill of any of them which surprised me since when I've seen most of them in other works, I've enjoyed them.

I'm seriously starting to lose faith in Adam Driver movies at this point. He either stars in great movies or just pure trash like this. No idea how they got such a strong cast to agree to put their names on this but good Lord don't waster your time. This movie was very, clearly, made by someone who has no idea how to make a zombie movie. This movie is just boring and the zombie killing scenes (that you watch a zombie movie for) are downright awful. It gets a half a star because I can't rate it none.
