What critics are saying about The Dead Don't Die

Read the rest of our coverage here. Maybe that’s the joke. Jim Jarmusch has spent an entire career perfecting his unhurried style and dry wit. The Dead Don’t Die takes both to extremes. Despite the prospect of corpses coming back to life and roaming the earth, everyone in Jarmusch’s zombie flick takes these events in stride.

“The Dead Don’t Die,” But the Living Don’t Do Much Either

With The Dead Don’t Die , auteur director Jim Jarmusch puts his unique, deadpan stamp on this staple of the horror genre. As one might expect, Jarmusch’s vision is more ironically cerebral than your typical zombie fare and a bit less viscerally horrifying—even when the aforementioned dead are chowing down on their victims’ viscera.
