Atom User Reviews for The Dead Don't Die
U have to have a specific sense of humor to enjoy this movie its love/hate type of thing and i loved it
The cast was underutilized and the plot left much to be desired. Not the worst movie out but I do not think it is worth a rewatch.
Great movie!!! Will probably be slow for the closed minded and socially awkward. Very dry humor, well written, great cast. Will definitely see it again.
meta!
Did not know it was possible to ruin the careers of three amazing actors in one movie. In my top 2 for worst movies I’ve ever seen.
Overall, a lackluster film. A real shame considering the fun premise and stellar cast.

I’d give it zero stars if I could. I knew in the first 20 minutes this film was a total loser. The best actors in the world couldn’t save that horrible script.
great cast, great acting, a great send-up of zombie horror with a good helping of social commentary....
It was overly entertaining!
By far the worst movie ever made by such a great cast
Funny zombie parody. Wish there was more backstory for some of the characters. This is a smart zombie movie parody. Not worst but not great .
Just have fun enjoy the humor.
The movie is aware of what it is. Well executed.
AMAZING!!
Dont waste your time or money
Worst movie I've ever seen!! I legit want a refund!
this was literally the worst movie I have ever seen.it was so segmented that 80% of the movie could have been cut out because it was a story that led to nowhere. I would have rather paid $10 to go to the theater and just see the trailer which was amazing, rather than waste…
loved the movie “the world is perfect, appreciate the details”
It could have been really good if they had filled out the story better. I feel like I watched a bunch of random ideas about zombies with some actors I know well but purposefully acted as if this was a high school video project.
dont waste your money
The slice of life part was great. Then it falls apart in the last half when things get really zombie-ish. And even the first half had too much fourth-wall breaking. 5/10
Somewhat funny but boring :/
I need to think about it. That's not a bad thing
odd acting even for bill Murray's taste, horrible plot line, not a sense of real zombie danger throughout the move. This can wait till release on DVD. #Rufund.
Metacritic
I recommend this film more for fans of Jarmusch than for hardcore fans of the zombie genre. Although I hope that it does serve as an introduction to Jarmusch to people who haven’t seen his other films. Hopefully, most audiences can take away the message from the movie and don’t get too thrown off by the jokes or the star power involved.
Avoid it at all costs if you value your sanity.
Jim Jarmusch’s The Dead Don’t Die may not be a gifted filmmaker’s worst movie, but it’s certainly his most cynical — a unique cinematic worldview reduced to schtick.
