Jim Jarmusch, cult filmmaker renowned for Only Lovers Left Alive and Broken Flowers, signs the 2019 horrific comedy The Dead Don't Die. This offbeat film, starring Bill Murray, Adam Driver and Tilda Swinton, revisits the zombie movie myth with dark humor and social criticism. After opening at the Cannes Film Festival and playing in cinemas, it will be available for streaming on HBO Max from October 2025.
The trailer unveils an atypical blend of horror and satire, in which the inhabitants of a small town face an invasion of the undead with typical Jarmuschian deadpan humor.
The Dead Don't Die will be available on HBO Max from October 31, 2025.
Synopsis: In the small town of Centerville, strange phenomena are occurring: an abnormal moon, animals behaving unusually, unpredictable days... But the most terrifying event is yet to come: the dead rise from their graves and attack the living. The inhabitants must now fight for their survival in the face of a zombie invasion, in a mix of terror and absurd humor.
With The Dead Don't Die, Jim Jarmusch takes his own approach to genre cinema, blending absurdist comedy, social criticism and black humor. The film turns the classic codes of the zombie film into a satire on modern society, while retaining traditional horror scenes.
The film features a prestigious cast: Bill Murray(Lost in Translation), Adam Driver(Star Wars), Tilda Swinton(Doctor Strange), as well as Chloë Sevigny, Steve Buscemi and Selena Gomez. The diversity of the cast reinforces the quirky, ironic tone of the story.
This film will appeal to fans of horror comedies and zombie films, as well as to those who appreciate Jim Jarmusch's singular style. Fans of Shaun of the Dead or Zombieland may find a similar atmosphere, blending humor and apocalypse. The satirical tone and atypical rhythm will appeal to viewers curious to discover an original version of the genre.
Presented at the Cannes Film Festival, The Dead Don't Die remains a landmark work for its singular approach to the zombie film. Its availability on HBO Max in autumn 2025 will allow us to rediscover it in the ideal Halloween setting, mixing thrills and dark humor.
