The Dead Don't Die
The greatest zombie cast ever disassembled.
Directed by Jim Jarmusch
Produced by Kill the Head, Animal Kingdom
A deadpan, self-aware zombie comedy that treats genre conventions with ironic detachment while exploring small-town Americana and mortality.
In the sleepy town of Centerville, the lives of a number of interconnected characters are disrupted by the undead.
