Short description
In a small peaceful town, zombies suddenly rise to terrorize the town. Now three bespectacled police officers and a strange Scottish morgue expert must band together to defeat the undead.
What's left behind the scenes
- Tilda Swinton (who played Zelda Winston) suggested to director and screenwriter Jim Jarmusch the idea of making a film about zombies during the filming of the fantasy thriller "Only Lovers Left Alive" (Jim Jarmusch, 2013).
- The giant anthills shown in the film are real, not props, and were discovered by chance while filming a scene with Tom Waits in the forest. Jarmusch liked them so much that he added a corresponding scene to the script.
- Initially, Jim Jarmusch wanted to cast Bruce Campbell as Mallory O'Brien, but he declined. It was then decided to rewrite the role for a woman, and Jarmusch offered it to Carol Kane, whom he had known since filming with Alexander Rockwell on the 1992 comedy-drama *Soup*. Kane did not object.
- When three police officers drive to the cemetery, Ronnie Peterson, played by Adam Driver, leans out of the car window and decapitates one of the zombies. This zombie is dressed in the clothes of a character played by Bill Murray in Ruben Fleischer's 2009 horror-comedy "Zombieland", and his hairstyle is exactly like Murray's.
