Movie Review - The Dead Don't Die
Dead Don't Die as super low budget movie is somewhat cute, but nothing really good. Don't see it in the theaters: its a good one to wait for streaming. Save your theater money now for the better movies.
There was one cool idea -- zombies are attracted to what interested them most while alive. The same thing was done better in Shaun of the Dead though.
It could become a cult favorite later - it was a Cannes Indie darling. Probably from all the cameos.
There was a lot of good quiet interplay charisma between Bill Murray and Adam Driver, and the unusual direction was cool. That worked. The over-stuffed cameos were wasted though.
I was overall quite disappointed, and the cinema room was empty to boot. I might bump this up to a B- minus later. The humor was there, but it was the quiet kind.
Grade: C+
