YMMV / The Dead Don't Die

Go To

  • Anvilicious: As if all the shots at the Donald Trump administration and disastrous environmental policies weren't clear enough, the movie ends with Hermit Bob going on a monologue about all the lessons you are supposed to have learned. This also includes a spiel about how the characters were zombies already even before the apocalypse, something that actually comes out of nowhere.
  • So Okay, It's Average: The critical and fan consensus is this, with a 54% on Rotten Tomatoes and 5.5 on IMDB. Many of the complaints were aimed at its slow pacing and Indecisive Parody nature, along with its Anvilicious sociopolitical commentary, its lack of humor in what was advertised as a "zom-com", and its lazy/nonsensical Excuse Plot. The praises went to Tilda Swinton's acting and the All-Star Cast's deadpan delivery.
