In the sleepy small town of Centerville, something is not quite right. The moon hangs large and low in the sky, the hours of daylight are becoming unpredictable, and animals are beginning to exhibit unusual behaviors. News reports are scary, and scientists are concerned, but no one foresees the strangest and most dangerous repercussion that will soon start plaguing Centerville: the dead rise from their graves and feast on the living, and the citizens must battle to survive.

Wenlei Ma News.com.au It's mildly amusing, mostly thanks to Swinton's swanning and the dry-as-bone exchanges between Murray and Driver. Rated: 3/5 Oct 19, 2019 Full Review Amy Nicholson FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) The angriest movie I've seen all year. This is Jim Jarmusch putting a very strong environmentalist stance in the middle of a zombie movie. Oct 1, 2019 Full Review Jake Wilson The Age (Australia) The zombie genre is now close to exhaustion -- though this is not a problem for Jarmusch who likes his premises threadbare, all the better to distil them into absurdist ritual. Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 25, 2019 Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com …a whimsical, evasive work from a great director off-form, designed to be annoyingly problematic and not for the horror comedy crowd, despite some gore and a few smart moments… Rated: 2/5 Aug 1, 2024 Full Review Calum Cooper Source (Scotland) Via this slowness, conversations start to go in circles, scenes feel repetitious, and emotions one would likely feel should the Earth’s polarity reverse or corpses resurrect feel somewhat restrained to the point of indifference. Rated: 2/5 Jul 14, 2024 Full Review Nyle Coleman InSession Film Unfortunately, I would not recommend this film but will also add the caveat that if you do decide to catch it and you are a fan of the typical zombie film genre, be sure to set aside your expectations before you dive in.

David P It was dry. Took over a hour to get to action with the zombies. Glad didn't pay alot for tickets. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/23/19 Full Review Disappointed The movie absolutely sucked! This was the worse movie Ive ever seen. Bill Murray should be ashamed to take a paycheck for this garbage. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/23/19 Full Review Katie With respect to the cast, I was expecting a hilarious and quirky movie however, I was displeased with a gruelingly slow and poorly written plot. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/18/19 Full Review Sandee74 A great movie!!! A must see 2 or 3 times for sure! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/13/19 Full Review Hali B The worst movie I have seen in a long time! This should have been a Netflix release. 2hours of my life I'll never get back. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/12/19 Full Review Audience Member This hardly even qualifies as a movie.
