I just know this movie was only made because Jarmusch just wanted to use that Sturgill Simpson track.
Anyways, The Dead Don't Fucking Die. I added a "fucking" because of how much I hated this piece of shit.
First and foremost, what a horrible fucking script. The story goes all over the place, and it goes to places it shouldn't have even gotten to in the first place. The dialogue is written and performed so fake and robotic that it feels uncanny and misdirected, which is fucked up to say, because I know how good of a director Jarmusch actually is. As well as the characters, almost none, except the two mains have anything to do with the actual plot, runtime, exposition, or anything. Like, the hippie trio shouldn't have happened. RZA, even if the Wu-PS was kind of a funny little joke, was unnecessary. And that's basically what half of the shit in this movie is flat-out unnecessary, just to sprinkle in some extra runtime. Or it's like a kid at a birthday party and they wanna show you there newest trick like a dog. He keeps saying "This is gonna be so cool I swear" While we all know it's not gonna be. Well, that's this shit.
While I hate the abusive writing this gave me to my soul, I will say the fourth-wall-breaking parts were kind of fun. At first, I kept eye-rolling, but the moment Driver said, "I read the script, and Jim gave it to me," I was like, "You know what? This is kind of fun." It's the only really good scene in this 100-minute dumpster fire.
Also, what happened to the kids? Not going to get any explanation for their characters? No, we're going to see a random UFO and our main characters dying. While I gotta respect they died like badasses, still, it's just flat-out unnecessary.
Probably the only really good thing in this movie is the awesome score done by SQÜRL, the band by Jim Jarmusch fun fact including Carter Logan. And I loved the drowning, hazy, electronic guitar echoing sound of this score. These pieces are drenched in atmospheric tunes that I would have been happy with if this was only an album. Like, why would you make such a good fucking ascending score for this piece of shit? It also kind of reminded me of the Twin Peaks soundtrack, which I love. Just a very good little soundtrack.
As well as this probably being my favorite-looking Jarmusch film I've seen. I haven't seen a lot, but I kind of like how muddy this movie looks. It mixes well.
In the end, this is definitely one of the most frustrating films I've seen. I mean, a zombie flick by Jarmusch sounds awesome, but instead we got a boring, badly written, badly performed, badly fucking edited dog-water of a movie.
And one more thing… You must be a disgrace to the horror zombie community to have bad prosthetic makeup and practical effects in a fucking zombie movie. Like… it's a zombie movie! That's like the dream for most practical effects artists. Like, even that you couldn't get right.
