The legendary director Jim Jarmusch, to whom we owe such laconic, minimalist masterpieces as the western “Dead Man” or the professional killer drama “Ghost Dog”, also brought a star-studded zombie movie to the cinemas in 2019 – and Anyone who knows Jarmusch could have guessed that already’The dead do not die‘ is not typical of the genre.
Since this movie is so different from all the undead movies and series you’ve seen in the recent past, such as “The Walking Dead”, “Army Of The Dead” or “World War Z”, we would like to recommend you this laconic gem. “The Dead Don’t Die” is currently available as a rental and purchase title from almost all VoD providers, including Amazon Prime Video, for example:
This is The Dead Don’t Die
The Dead Don’t Die is a zombie comedy starring Bill Murray, Star Wars star Adam Driver and Chloë Sevigny as small town cops facing a zombie invasion. what happens samurai sword undertaker Zelda Winston (Tilda Swinton) Know more? At least soon, right-wing farmers (Steve Buscemi), local merchants (Danny Glover, Caleb Landry Jones), mail carriers (RZA), and traveling urban hipsters (Austin Butler, Selena Gomez) are equally at risk…
Our 3.5 star FILMSTARTS review puts it succinctly: “A zombie comedy by Jim Jarmusch. And that actually says enough.” Because anyone who knows Jim Jarmusch will already have a good idea that a lot of things here are pretty weird.
We just advise everyone to be a little surprised and not expect anything in the style of “Zombieland” and Co. Casualness reigns here. “Let’s go” in the classic sense – that never exists here. Overall, “The Dead Don’t Die” hardly follows any classical dramaturgy — and while samurai swords and baseball bats are used, that’s miles away from “The Walking Dead.”
