Rigorous in a way documentary storytelling does not always commit to. Start it whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

Doc of the Dead is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. Doc of the Dead approaches its subject with the rigour that makes documentary storytelling worth taking seriously. The definitive zombie culture documentary, brought to the screen by the makers of THE PEOPLE vs. GEORGE LUCAS. The involvement of Alex Cox and Simon Pegg signals a level of access rarely granted. It was released in 2014. Documentary work at this level requires access that is hard to get and storytelling that does justice to it — Doc of the Dead has both. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Doc of the Dead is the kind of documentary you immediately want to recommend to someone else. It has built its own audience without needing a direct comparison. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch from start to finish. The access the production gets is remarkable, and the storytelling does full justice to it. Worth watching in order, from the beginning.
