The Dead Don't Die | comment |
The Dead Don't Die is a 2019 American Zombie Apocalypse-themed Horror Comedy film, written and directed by Jim Jarmusch and featuring an All-Star Cast.After a vague sci-fi Excuse Plot leads the dead to rise again, three small-town cops set out to kill some zombies. There's also a nerdy cashier, a delivery guy, a samurai mortician, some teenage hippies, a trio of kids in juvenile detention, and Hermit Bob, among others. Are they important to the plot? Kinda.Not to be confused with Robert Bloch's short story of the same title, or its 1975 Made-for-TV Movie adaptation directed by Curtis Harrington. | |

Katanas Are Just Better | |
The Dead Don't Die / int_12a22bd8 | comment |
Katanas Are Just Better: Ronnie often needs multiple full-strength blows with a machete to decapitate a zombie, and he's even complimented on his swing. Zelda, however, decapitates zombies using her katana with casual ease. It might have a little to do with the fact that she's an alien. | |

The Stoic | |
The Dead Don't Die / int_1c5002bc | comment |
The Stoic: Both Cliff and Ronnie are impossibly calm when dealing with undead rising from their graves. While Cliff eventually cracks, Ronnie remains perfectly calm. That's because they both read the script of the movie they are in. While Cliff only got scenes with him, Ronnie read the whole thing, thus they can't be surprised by anything that happens around them. | |

Cruel and Unusual Death | |
The Dead Don't Die / int_1e584efa | comment |
Cruel and Unusual Death: Lilly, the woman who runs the town cleaning service, is one of the first two victims of the zombies and suffers the worse death; she is knocked down by a zombie who then rips out pieces of her stomach and intestines while she moans in pain. You can hear her moaning the whole time the zombies are drinking coffee and leaving the diner, meaning she was left to bleed to death overnight. | |

Downer Ending | |
The Dead Don't Die / int_4e3d253b | comment |
Downer Ending: Even though it's a comedic zombie movie in the vein of Shaun of the Dead, Zombieland, or Anna and the Apocalypse, it doesn't have anything resembling a happy ending. Just about every named character dies horribly, and Cliff and Ronnie, aware they're characters in a movie and are going to die no matter what, opt to go out in a blaze of glory, taking as many zombies with them as they can until they're inevitably overwhelmed. Zelda is revealed to be an alien who gets her friends to pick her up in their UFO, abandoning the only survivors (Stella, Olivia, Geronima, and Hermit Bob) to fend for themselves, but given the sheer scope of the outbreak and what's causing it, there's no indication that they aren't doomed along with the rest of the planet. | |

Medium Awareness: Early on, Ronnie shows signs of being aware he's in a movie, particularly in how he refers to Sturgill Simpson's "The Dead Don't Die" as "the theme song." As it turns out, he read the film's script ahead of time (most of it anyway). Cliff also read the script, or at least the parts pertaining to him, and thus also knew he was in a movie. | |

Our Zombies Are Different | |
The Dead Don't Die / int_8ba9512b | comment |
Our Zombies Are Different: The zombies in this film aren't driven by a hunger for flesh, per se, but they are driven by the obsessions they had in life and just happen to attack any living people they find. For example, the first two zombies to rise from their graves only kill the waitresses at the diner because they wanted coffee. They also don't bleed when wounded, but release some kind of black smoke from their bodies, and appear to maintain some degree of intelligence, since Mindy's zombified grandmother remembers her and Hank doesn't attack Cliff after he becomes a zombie, content to just stand there when the latter says hello to him. | |

Apocalypse How | |
The Dead Don't Die / int_91e894b4 | comment |
Apocalypse How: Explicitly Class 2, implicitly Class 4. The explanation for why zombies are now roaming around is that big government and corporate fracking of the north and south pole has thrown the Earth off of its axis. On-top of the dead returning to life, the day-night cycle has been thrown off, animals behave erratically, everyone's clocks have stopped, and radio and television signals glitch out at random. It is also briefly brought up that the global effects of the fracking could produce floods, earthquakes, and a whole host of other disasters that might potentially lead to mass extinction, but the events of the film are too brief to show any of this happening. | |

The Dead Don't Die / int_9a1fe522 | comment |
Attractive Zombie: Zelda spots an attractive zombie woman wearing a revealing outfit, and comments that the skirt "isn't her tartan" before killing her. Cliff takes a while to gaze on an undead tennis player. | |

The Dead Don't Die / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: Early on Cliff makes a Retirony comment, and when Ronnie asked why Cliff didn't retire, Cliff asks if they're improvising, and that Ronnie probably knows. It's later revealed they know the script and this is a brief fourth wall break. | |

Cloud Cuckoo Lander: Zelda seems to think that preparing the bodies in her funeral home means giving them a make-up inspired by a fashion magazine. Justified since she's revealed to be an alien. | |

Take That!: Shots fired at the Trump administration aren't particularly subtle, though his name is never mentioned. Farmer Miller, whom everyone described as an asshole, wears a MAGA-inspired hat reading "Keep America White Again." The disastrous polar fracking is portrayed as a policy of the lying presidential administration, which is obviously a shot at Trump's environmental policy. | |

The Ace: Zelda is remarkably adept at killing zombies, beheading them gracefully with her katana in ways that can only be described as superhuman, and never once betrays any sign of fear or hesitation regarding the horror she's contending with. It helps that she isn't human at all: she's an alien. | |

The Dead Don't Die / int_d7a92919 | comment |
Indecisive Parody: It's nearly impossible to tell when the movie is trying to be funny, or if it's even trying to be funny at all. It's equally hard to tell if the heavy-handed sociopolitical commentary is meant to be taken seriously, or if it's merely poking fun at how Anvilicious zombie movies typically are with their messaging. | |
