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.
