The Dead Don't Die











Writer/Director Jim Jarmusch’s The Dead Don’t Die is a half-assed attempt at satirizing zombie films. 

It has some descent high-brow humor for the first 20 minutes or so as we’re introduced to a Trump-town where people speaks verrry sllowlly.  (Hey, even I like Polish jokes.)

The lights go out and, suddenly, a few corpses depart from their graves. Thus, begins an onslaught of zombie killings that soon draws pity for the townfolk and an understanding of why we “elites” are so despised.

It’s a shame that such talented actors joined Jarmusch in this debacle that descends into a boring rendition of chopped or blown up heads.

I give The Dead Don’t Die a 2.2 out of 5.
