Life After Beth
Zach is devastated by the unexpected death of his girlfriend, Beth. When she mysteriously returns, he gets a second chance at love. Soon his whole world turns upside down...
Why it matters
A quirky blend of undead rom-com and heartfelt zombie horror that plays with grief and attachment in unexpectedly tender ways.
- Aubrey Plaza’s deadpan charm as Beth anchors the film with sharp humor and subtle menace.
- Subverts the typical zombie trope by focusing on the awkward, messy aftermath of loss rather than relentless gore.
- Straddles the line between indie dark comedy and genre horror, appealing to fans of both zombie movies and offbeat rom-coms.
- Not flawless—pacing drags and the plot meanders—but its unique tone and moments of genuine emotion make it worth a look for those craving something different in the undead realm.
