Z-O-M-B-I-E-S arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. Z-O-M-B-I-E-S does what great comedies rarely manage — it is actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. Two star-crossed freshmen – a zombie, Zed and a cheerleader, Addison – each outsiders in their unique ways, befriend each other and work together to show their high school and the Seabrook community what they can achieve when they embrace their differences. Meg Donnelly and Milo Manheim lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 2018. Z-O-M-B-I-E-S earns its laughs from character rather than situation, which is why it does not wear thin the way pure farce tends to. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single evening. Meg Donnelly is funny in a way that holds up on rewatch. Put it on when you need something guaranteed to land.
