It's mildly amusing, mostly thanks to Swinton's swanning and the dry-as-bone exchanges between Murray and Driver.

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.

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.

The Dead Don’t Die isn’t Jarmusch’s best and it isn’t the best zombie comedy by any means, but it’s amusingly sardonic and quirky with a stellar cast to boot.
