The Dead Don't Die

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.

Honestly one of the slowest, driest, and more confusing movies I’ve ever seen. I thought I was going to see Bill Murray make witty, sarcastic comments while he and the rest of the cast tried to figure out how to survive. Instead he and Driver made jokes with heavy pauses and said most of their lines with no emotion. They really didn’t say much of anything. The writing was strange and slow and some of the joke delivery was embarrassing. It somehow ended up being some “hidden” message and was supposed to be symbolic, but it was delivered lazily and very on-the-nose. Some of the things the zombies said themselves were supposed to be symbolic but it was just… stupid. I haven’t felt so dissatisfied with a movie in so long—a complete waste of my time.

Good to see this all star cast. Love them, but was met with dissapointment and a very very slow movie. Love the famous duos and appearances, but it just seemed like they did the movie as a favor for a friend.

A niche but clever, sometimes interesting, dry humorous movie about zombies. The eclectic cast does the lion' share of the interest for me.

My god do not recommend feel Adam driver and bill Murray max this movie

Absolutely nothing exciting happens. The movie starts off slow and as you approach the zombies attacking you think it might pick up. But they have they most boring drawn out killing scene's. There's no tension, no comedy, no suspense. They just wander around making dry comments and breaking the 4th wall as if it's funny. Then at the end of it nothing happens. It's an awful awful movie.

Was this an improv stunt by Bill Murray?

This is an unbelievably bad movie despite it's great cast. Absolutely no effort made.
