In a pastel, 1950s-style suburb where zombies are kept in check with electronic collars and used as household help, a lonely kid bonds with the family’s new undead “pet.” When the zombie is blamed for violent incidents, the family must decide whether to give in to fear and pressure—or fight to keep their unusual companion.

About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a quirky, heartfelt zombie comedy with suburban satire and some gore, like a lighter cousin to The Return of the Living Dead; Not for you if you want straight horror or nonstop laughs.
Pros: clever zombie satire; offbeat 1950s vibe; rewatchable dark laughs | Cons: humor can miss; light on scares; odd, morbid romance
