Trivia
The giant anthills are real and were an accidental discovery while filming Hermit Bob in the woods. Jim liked them so much he added the scene and dialogue spontaneously.

Goofs
Immediately after Posie's "brutal attacks" report a number of zombies are shown emerging from graves. The engraving on the tombstones is all backwards, showing that this scene was flipped.

Quotes
Dean: The world is perfect. Appreciate the details.

Crazy credits
The opening Focus Features logo is seen glitching once at the start of the movie, briefly showing zombies and a burning house.

Zombies by Jim Jarmusch

In Centerville, the undead rise when there is a shift in the axis of rotation of Earth. "The Dead Don't Die" is the slow development of this storyline following several dwellers of this town. Films by Jim Jarmusch are usually cult and slow paced. His navigation through the zombie genre is an uneven film, with at least a good surprise like the flying saucer scene and many boring and unfunny moments. The cast composed by many veteran actors and actresses is a plus but the final result is neither cult nor worthwhile spending 1h 44 min watching. My vote is five.

Title (Brazil): "Os Mortos Não Morrem" ("The Dead Don't Die")
