For the most part I enjoyed the movie. I think where it loses points is that it was too direct with the point.

Rating: 4.0/5

Sturgill Simpson. I only know this artist from a concept album
Smile. he just says matter of factly that it's the theme song. Doesn't say to what
spooky. it rustled after she put it back.
oh my. Mallory moved
I guess the funny thing about zombies is like why do they appear to feed on living humans. You would think if the virus infecting is trying to spread, it would just bite and spread. Or what would the idea of feeding serve. The host body is already dead, so how could it nurture the virus in the body. [I asked ChatGPT and it said it depends on the story; in some zombie stories, it's just a compulsion for flesh]
hehe. he observed it smashed the coffee pots
hehe. he intuits zombies ("you're telling me you think zombies did this?" "yep")
she's gonna change and it's gonna be Sturgill Simpson again. [yep]
hehe. very George Romero.
hahaha. hahahaha. took several blows to decapitate her
hehe. still said chardonnay
hehe. that she knows how to use a sword, I imagine she stays alive and kicks ass throughout the movie [hehe she had her sword with her; clean cuts]
oh no. the WU-ps guy
hehe. he made cutting the head off with the clippers so easy (easier than the machete which Ronnie used)
hehe Cliff tells her what she wants to hear and then Ronnie crushes that and says "I doubt it"
oh no. "Cleveland"
hehe. Star Wars. Adam Driver was in Episode IX this same year
ah. he explains they gravitate to the things they enjoyed when they were alive
silent laughter + chuckle. He comes out holding her head by the hair
"they're not zombies"
haha. he throws the head into the hotel room
why didn't they use their shotgun
smile "this is good chicken"
wow. she couldn't take it...
well this is a lot of zombies, but Zelda was gonna meet them at the cemetary
hehe. this smart car doesn't have a top?
hahahaha. "Do you really want to know?" [...] "I know because I read the script."
hahaha. "he only gave me our scenes"
what a strange twist
"Was that in the script?"
wait what. she just communicatd with them via their computer and left... didn't handle the zombies in any way
