Finn S Feb 27, 2019 Strengths: For this movie to succeed, the lead needs to deliver. Aubrey Plaza (Beth Siocum) does just that. She completely commits to the wild premise. Each time we see her on screen, she gets a little more zombie like and she nails all the little mannerisms without ever going overboard. Itâ(TM)s a delicate act to pull off. In their smaller roles, Anna Kendrick (Erica Wexler) and Molly Shannon (Geenie Siocum) are very good, while Matthew Gray Gubler (Kyle Orfman) steals the show as the protagonistâ(TM)s brother. The protagonist is given a solid arc to grow over the course of the film. I liked the little quirks given to the zombies, like how they enjoy being in attics and how they arenâ(TM)t aware of what they are. I also appreciated how the zombie outbreak became bigger and bigger as the movie progressed without having to show it a ton. The effects on the zombies came off very well despite this movie not having a big budget. They looked convincing. Weaknesses: Dane DeHaan (Zach Orfman) just doesnâ(TM)t work as the leading man. The character is relatively fine but his performance is unconvincing. He hasnâ(TM)t impressed me outside of Chronicle. John C. Reilly (Maury Siocum) is also someone who usually does well in supporting roles. He just doesnâ(TM)t work for me here and the character is incredibly unlikable. He even gets a nice little moment in the end that feels unearned because thereâ(TM)s no reason to like him. Also, despite being about an hour and a half, the movie feels stretched out with several scenes feeling like they were padded out. Overall: Thanks to the great work from Aubrey Plaza and a solid premise, this movie mostly works. Itâ(TM)s enjoyable even with the flaws it has. See more

Luke S Jan 2, 2019 it was a weird movie; i loved it!

Harry W Nov 29, 2018 When she rolled down that hill with the washing machine attached to her, lol.

Draco M Oct 22, 2018 While its got some ok momments, its really just another messy zombie rom-com.

Rey S Sep 7, 2018 This movie could not be better. I think Molly Shannon is a terrible comedian and Aubrey Plaza is a pretentious ****. Nevertheless, the casting is phenomenal. My opinion of both ladies improved some. I wouldn't change anything. Oops... except for Anna Kendrick, who I adore. For some reason, she or her character didn't work. Everything else... perfection.
