There's certainly a lot more going on than you would expect from a traditional zombie movie, but in a way this gives Follow the Dead more of an individual voice, even if it is a little overstuffed with ideas.

4/5

You couldn’t call the comedy subtle, but there are plenty of decent jokes in the mix and some surprising emotional punches, too – as key relationships come under strain.

3.5/5

“Follow the Dead” is an entertaining and big-hearted zom-com that embraces some of the genre’s many tropes, pokes fun at others, and has enough of its own flavor to stand out in the crowd.

3/5

A movie about Millennials reviewed by a Gen Xer. What could go wrong! Luckily this Irish zomcom is funny, chilling, and thoughtful about how a safe space can become a prison, as a family of slackers faces two threats — only one of which is already dead.

Cahill leads us down the cinematic road quite nicely and does a slow reveal for the film's inspired storytelling.

You probably dont get the other side of the coin here. I applied to be an extra as a zombie in the movie as one of the extras. I made friends with a lot of them. Great cast. The work would go into the early hours of the morning. You can see they put a lot of hard work into it. When the movie was finally done we went to the screening of it and we had a blast. Thoughly enjoyed the movie. Lots of laughs and 1 timers. N

The authentic Irish accents were the only redeeming quality of 'Follow the Dead.' The main character was thoroughly unlikeable, a real POS, which made it hard to engage with the story. The film felt disjointed, with a random group of murderers thrown in for no apparent reason, and the zombies themselves were a late and underdeveloped addition.

I enjoy bad movies, zombeavers, ghost shark, The VelociPastor. The list is endless. I'm okay with unfulfilling storylines, I'm okay with special effects and SFX makeup being done on a budget. I'm okay with below par acting. I had high hopes for "Follow The Dead", real optimism. My take away is having your cast, crew, and friends review your movie really gives a biased view. If you have absolutely nothing else to do with your life for 95minutes or if you absolutely need background noise while you scroll the social media void. This is the movie for you!

Bad, just awful. Bad. I will be speaking to my solicitor and booking therapy after this.

Single-handedly the worst thing I have ever seen. The acting is just awful, the story line is mediocre and the SFX please don't get me started. All the reviews are clearly written by cast members, I actually think I lost brain cells watching this, my head hurts and I am confused. Please do better. 0/10 do not recommend.
