Raetsonwe Redundant and unnecessary.
CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Glimmerubro It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Reno Rangan The movie did not reach my expectation, but still I enjoyed watching it. A story like this I never thought would do fairly, a better movie from the average section. I think not without the Aubrey Plaza, she as a Beth was excellent. Not a career defining performance, but funny enough. The story looks only faintly different from other similar films, but a few good scenes saved it. If it had a couple more good jokes and maybe a twist, surely would have been done greatly at the box office.There's no surprise material in it, I thinks that's negative about it. Easy to read the situation and predict the story within the first 15 minutes, but the second half was drastically changed its pace as well as the atmosphere in the story. If you've not seen many zombie films, especially comedy ones, then you may find it better than average.Definitely a decent direction for a first timer, got a good support from the cast. For a small budget, this is a wonderful production quality. It surely upset you if you expect like 'Warm Bodies' or 'Shaun of the Dead', but if you know all about it before giving a try, the disappointment will be lessened and you may have a decent time pass with it.6/10
leonblackwood Review: This film is really weird! It's about two teenagers who really love each other but the girl dies from a mysterious snake bite and the boy feels like he can't survive without her. His only way of dealing with the his lose is by going to the dead girls parents house, only to find out that the girl is still alive and still very much in love with him. After a while the girls mood starts to change and she becomes very violent which makes the boy question who she really is. I quite enjoyed the beginning of the movie but then it gets a bit out of hand when the zombies start turning up in there community. The storyline kind of dries up and reaches a dead end after a while, which is a shame because the concept wasn't bad. I honestly think that it would have been a better movie if it was a straight out comedy without the deep love element. The guy who played the lead was a bad choice because he seemed to take the whole situation seriously, even when she is walking around with a cooker on her back whilst listening to smooth jazz. John C. Reilly and Molly Shannon were a great choice as the parents because they are veterans in this genre but I personally was hoping for more laughs. Average!Round-Up: Dane DeHaan has only been on the scene since 2003 and he has had major roles in the Amazing Spiderman 2, Lincoln and Lawless, which isn't bad for the young looking 29 year old. He doesn't have the most noticeable style of acting but he has a unique look which has worked in his roles. Personally I think that this movie could have done with a comedic actor like Seth Rogen or Jonah Hill but thats just my personal opinion. Aubrey Plaza, whose starred in movies like Scott Pilgrim, Funny People and 10 Years, was a great choice for her role because of her striking dark looks and big eyes which worked as the scary girlfriend. The main problem for me was the far fetched storyline was a bit weak and it needed the Shaun of the Dead, Simon Pegg touch.Budget: $2.4million Worldwide Gross: $250,000 (Terrible!)I recommend this movie to people who are into their romance/comedy/horror movies about a boy who has to deal with the lose of his girlfriend who suddenly comes back as a zombie. 3/10
rmclin The characters, the acting and especially the articulation their chemistry and bonding is something very rarely seen. More power to independent filmmaking and cheers to Jeff Baena on a of great masterpiece. I might seem to be too positive about it. Maybe Im slightly manic. Or I have been in a great place today. I don't want to talk about the movie because all art for itself. I was sort of surprised the 5.7 overall rating. I was slightly prejudiced having watched season 3 of "Being Human" on DVD. I got Beth at the and grab most media I watch from the library. I like watching the special features and watched the Post Mortem one. I thought it was so cool how the casting evolved in that many of the cast had current relationships way before they were exposed to the screenplay. Keep up the great work and look forward to what might be next and possibly will check out some of your other works. Thank you. Robert
willcarson4358 What's with all the negative comments? It's not suppose to be 'Gone with the Wind'. It is an actually funny movie takeoff on the zombi genre. I predict it will be a cult film of late teen- early twentys low-wage workers on a Friday or Saturday night movie. I really liked it. The combination of John O'Reily and Aubrey Plaza is perfect (as well as all the cast.) Well, as I have to add more lines to fill the required 10 lines, a couple of my favourite films are 'Criminal' staring John O'Reily and 'Safety Not Guaranteed' staring Aubrey Plaza. OK . . . . 'getting high with Doug'? starring Aubrey Plaza and Doug. Oh, Paul Riser, now I remember where I've seen his acting before! Aliens.' How about other film recommendation? The Hedgehog- A french film. Well, thats ten lines! Life after Beth is an enjoyable flick
