Review of The Dead Don't Die (2019) by Riddlebox2003 — 11 Mar 2020
Congratulations, Bill Murray, Garfield is no longer the stain on your career, The Dead Don't Die is now the worst pile of trash you've ever participated in, good job. A 5.5 seems far too high for this movie.
I've actually never seen a worse movie in my entire life, horror or otherwise. Not only does the director try to copy George Romero's style of subtle storytelling that showcases real-world problems, he straight **** on it.
Throughout the entire movie we see this hobo who is watching from a distance informing us that the dead have been dead long before they were dead... cuz consumerism, thanks guy, I couldn't have picked up on that and I'm happy they have him tell us this on multiple occasions.
My best friend and I chose to rent this over The Joker because of the star cast, how can you go wrong with Bill and Adam? Well, they did it, and they constantly try to make the audience feel stupid throughout the movie, they treat us like 6 years old by feeling a need to constantly explain the hidden meanings.
None of the jokes land and what makes that so painful is the fact that they just keep trying and trying and trying with the same joke, they try to make running jokes that aren't even good for a simple "ha", it's just bad.
The movie also struggles with its characters. There are multiple plot lines that literally never come to fruition or have a sway over the story. Selena Gomez's group being one, where there's minimal character development.
We follow around kids in a juvenile detention center and their story also never does much to drive the plot.
