A Girlfriend Who's Back... and a Little Different!

Imagine your best friend or girlfriend suddenly isn't around anymore. That's what happens to Zach when his girlfriend, Beth, passes away. But then, something super strange happens!

Beth comes back to life, but she's not quite the same. She's a zombie! Zach has to figure out how to deal with his zombie girlfriend, which is way harder than dealing with a normal breakup.

It's a funny and weird story about love and, well, zombies!

How This Spooky Story Was Made!

This movie wasn't made overnight! The person who wrote the story, Jeff Baena, had the idea way back in 2003. It took a long time for the movie to actually get made.

The actress who plays Beth, Aubrey Plaza, loved the story so much she wanted to be in it. Then, everything fell into place, and they started filming in 2013. It’s like waiting for your birthday for a really long time, and then finally, it’s here!

Why This Zombie Tale is So Cool!

This movie is special because it’s not like other zombie movies where everyone is running from a big zombie attack. Instead, it’s all about Zach trying to understand his feelings. He misses the Beth he knew, but he also has to take care of the zombie Beth.

It’s a story about dealing with tough feelings and relationships, even when things get really weird and spooky. It shows that even in strange situations, people try to figure things out.

Meet the Stars of the Show!

The movie has a super fun cast! Aubrey Plaza plays Beth, the zombie girlfriend. Dane DeHaan plays Zach, the boy who is trying to handle this crazy situation. You might also see famous actors like Molly Shannon and John C. Reilly! It’s like a big team of actors coming together to tell this unique story. They make the funny and strange parts of the movie really come to life.
