WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

When his girlfriend Beth (Plaza) unexpectedly dies, Zach (DeHaan) is left devastated. However, he is soon shocked to see her not only alive but fully active once more, which pleases Zach until he slowly realises that she may not be the same as she was before…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

An intriguing new take on the whole rom-zom-com trend that began with Shaun of the Dead, one can assume that Life After Beth has the potential to go the extra mile in terms of its romance, its comedy, and above all its zombie.
