A podcast host, Vinita (Kiran Deol), struggles to maintain her dwindling audience amid the zombie apocalypse, but when her ex shows up with an orphaned baby, priorities shift in order to battle the ever-mutating zombie threat.

Critics Consensus

Didn't Die mixes lo-fi visuals, humor, and horror effectively, but uneven pacing and a slight premise keep its drama from fully landing.

It is a zombie movie with no zest. No thrill, no stakes, and no meaning.

The look is distinctly lo-fi -- so was Romero’s “Night of the Living Dead” -- but the blend of humour and horror is high value.

A midnight offering from Meera Menon that proves that a fun concept and cool inspirations do not necessarily equate to a good movie.

Surprisingly tender and heartfelt with complex characters worth caring about. An unconventional twist on the zombie film genre.

Didn't Die had it in the beginning and squandered it towards the end, wasting the potential of these really unique characters.

It lacks rhythm, cohesion, and flow.

A zombie film that goes beyond standard tropes. Come for the zombies and stay for the strong character arcs and relationship dynamics that explore the heart of what truly matters—people and humanity.

Didn’t Die is a thinking person’s zombie movie. While it has its share of thrills, this is a character-driven film that focuses on how ordinary people adapt to their world changing. It is both humorous and poignant, and the acting is excellent. Most of the movie is filmed in black and white, which provides an eerie quality and contributes to the artistry of the amazing cinematography. Can’t wait to see more films from Director Meera Menon!
