What is it with Bill Murray and zombies? As one of the living dead in Zombieland, his "Do you have any regrets? Garfield, maybe." moment was a runaway highlight of the film, so it was only a matter of time before he returned to the world of the lurching dead. It came a few years later, this time under the direction of indie darling Jim Jarmusch for The Dead Don't Die (2019), which Netflix has just added.
Now, however, he's most definitely alive, as stoney-faced Chief Cliff Robertson, charged with looking after the residents of the sleepy town of Centerville. While he and his deputy, Officer Ronnie Peterson (Adam Driver), are stopping for coffee and doughnuts at the town’s diner, there’s full-scale carnage taking place in the moonlit cemetery. Flesh-eating zombies are at large and, as the ravenous swarm descends on the once-peaceful town, all the humans realize they’re at risk of being an endangered species. Led by their police officers, they band together to defend their homes, but will the dead actually die?
