“The Dead Don’t Die” is a delightfully deadpan Zom-Com

by Daniel O'Connell The zombie genre has been one of the more popular subgenres of horror since its genesis with 1968’s Night of the Living Dead. Starting in the 2010s, there was a resurgence in popularity with the zombie genre, thanks to shows like The Walking Dead. However, the zombie genre has dimmed again in recent years thanks to the overabundance and of zombie media. People have gotten sick of tired of the same tropes in only slightly different packages and just want the genre to stay dead for good. Independent filmmaker Jim Jarmusch (director of Stranger than Paradise, Down by Law, and Only Lovers Left Alive) has decided to challenge the stale zombie genre with his new comedy, The Dead Don’t Die.
