Excuse Plot: The zombie apocalypse that brings Beth back doesn't have much bearing on the rest of the movie, and ends up resolving itself by the end after appearing to only affect a local community. | |

One Dialogue, Two Conversations | |
Life After Beth / int_71152dd | comment |
One Dialogue, Two Conversations: Zach, who has spent the last few days with an increasingly zombified Beth, finds himself marveling at Erica's normal skin, and asks if she's noticed the recent phenomenon of the dead returning to life. Erica clearly thinks he's flirting with her and gets increasingly enamored as the conversation continues. | |

Life After Beth / int_89b8822f | comment |
Go Mad from the Revelation: Beth, who was already not herself up until that point, does not take the revelation that she's a zombie lightly: she assaults Zach, steals and crashes his car, and later on starts mumbling a Madness Mantra and kills a guy. | |

Our Zombies Are Different | |
Life After Beth / int_8ba9512b | comment |
Our Zombies Are Different: In this movie, zombies start out with their human personalities, but as their brains decay, they become first absent-minded and forgetful, then increasingly erratic and aggressive, and only after a certain point do they finally become the familiar growling zombies we know and love. They also have a bizarre fondness for attics, and for some reason, packing the walls in the attics with dirt, and smooth jazz calms them down. And the biggest difference, which could play a part in how quickly this particular Zombie Apocalypse is dealt with: they are not contagious. It's just everyone who recently died comes back as zombies in the area. | |

Red Herring: The Slocums' Haitian housekeeper quit her job just before the dead started to rise, so Zach suspects she was involved, and becomes more suspicious when Maury refuses to give him her address. It turns out that she left due to Maury's sexual harassment and the timing was coincidental - while no other explanation is found, Hollywood Voodoo doesn't seem to have been a factor | |
