The Dead Don't Die
I didn't really understand this movie. The deadpan humor and acting throughout takes away any sense of urgency or danger from the pointless, meandering zombies. The script turn meta, with self referential moments such as “I've read the script and it doesn't end well”. That was never explained further how these characters know they're in a movie. There's a plot thread regarding kids that doesn't go anywhere at all, it's just completely dropped, and a character that turns out to be something else entirely that's never explained further. This movie just didn't really work on any level. I believe it was going for comedy, and there were a couple of fun lines I guess, but I wouldn't call this funny. I was engaged throughout but mainly because I kept wondering where they were going with the meta stuff, and was disappointment when they didn't go anywhere with it at all.
