I caught the last part of a movie the other day that is stuck in my head: The dead don't die.
it is so bad, so dumb, so weird, all I can think is that they made it that way on porpoise to create a cult movie.
I mean it is really weird and really bad. So bad I want to watch it from the beginning.
So I guess it worked ???

The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reports an approval rating of 55%, based on 290 reviews, with an average rating of 5.81/10. The site's critical consensus reads: "The Dead Don't Die dabbles with tones and themes to varying degrees of success, but sharp wit and a strong cast make this a zom-com with enough brains to consume."[15] Metacritic assigned the film a weighted average score of 53 out of 100, based on 52 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews."[16]
PopMatters wrote "It's a curious film, one that acknowledges the end of the world blatantly without once forgetting to be steadfastly, almost dementedly, silly. It's a smart if minor work from a masterfully innovative director."[17]
The New York Times said "Jim Jarmusch's The Dead Don't Die respects the horror genre without really committing to it."[18]
The Hollywood Reporter said of the film "At times, the deadpan of Murray and Driver becomes, well, a bit deadening, and true wit is in short supply, even though the film remains amusing most of the way."[19]
