The amount of time they played Sturgill Simpson’s The Dead Don’t Die song, it was funny and torture. It is a strange Zombie movie, which I liked it.

A bit slow, a bit meandering and quite dry of humor, Jim Jarmusch's take on a zombie film is still certainly unique. While plot points come and go like zombie ashes, the knock-out cast is a hoot, including a fourth-wall breaking Adam Driver and the super-nerd played by Caleb Landry Jones. Plus, if you've ever wanted to see Tilda Swinton play a Scottish samurai funeral director alien - here's your chance! There's an attempt at commentary on subjects ranging from environmentalism to consumerism, along with a few sly nods to zombies films of past - but when the highlight of the film is Iggy Pop as a zombie and Selena Gomez getting decapitated, well, it's not exactly high art.

Jim Jarmusch presses his offbeat characterizations into this stagnant and late in the game zombie comedy's template, but "The Dead Don't Die" can't compete with the likes of "Warm Bodies," "Zombieland," and especially "Shaun of the Dead."
