Seriously...not serious enough

 I happened to watch the movie (2019) THE DEAD DON'T DIE. It's a story of a lonely secluded small town of few hundred people who managed to keep their town simple, ordinary and quiet until something strange is happening with the weather, with the day to day ambiance on this very lonely place when the day is longer than usual and the moonlight is pink in color.

The movie is quite slow as in nothing much of happening until it brought some few run-about existence of two hippie thugs that came out, dug out themselves from the graves and attack two innocent victims (the owner and server ) at the dine-in. Yup, those two punked zombies are very hungry and thirsty. You know that zombies can populate once they bit another humans to spread their zombie virus or more zombies dugout themselves from the graves. In this movie zombies can talk and utter the last words they had before they die, such as the word "chardonnay." Must be that she was binge drinking in her sudden death. To add alien or UFO sighting in this movie is uncanny and uncalled for. Who would have thought 10 minutes before the ending is no longer scary but funny sort of. One had read the script and the other one didn't know the ending.

Lesson for this zombie apocalypse is when you just watch, be a standby while those hungry monsters consumed the whole town and its people, what kind of police enforcers are they? They know how to kill the zombies but they don't have much weapons to overpower the mass killing of the undead. Three police officers cannot control thousands of zombies as they only watch while they attack the whole town. It's freaking cowardice or just plain stupid. They could just go on top of the roof top of the building and started firing. That's what it is, being sniper probably needs training or born to be a marksman  and to be a police you should know how to use your gun. If you only have shotgun when you should at least have armalite... hmm, maybe too much to ask if the budget of the movie production pays for such big stars and ammunition is just plain old guns with few bullets. Then they don't even know how to use machete as fast as it used to be when law enforcers should have the skills in all weaponry. The only one who knew how to handle samurai was the "alien" from Kill Bill. lol.


Anyway, it's a Bill Murray movie so its something for "comedy." Nothing serious.
