And while we&#8217;ve seen zombies un-dig their own graves before and wreak havoc on the living, we&#8217;ve never seen them try to re-enter their lives in the way Jarmusch depicts here. Carol Cane&#8217;s freshly re-animated corpse, for example, shows up wanting &#8220;Chardonnaaaaay&#8221; instead of &#8220;Braaaaains!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This isn&#8217;t the first time indie filmmaker Jarmusch has dived into more genre fare. His first stab at horror &#8211; or at least horror elements &#8211; was the slow-burn (and very good) vampire romance,\u00a0<em>Only Lovers Left Alive<\/em>, which starred Swinton and Tom Hiddleston.<\/p>\n<p>Selena Gomez, Rosie Perez, Chlo\u00eb Sevigny, Danny Glover, RZA, Tom Waits, and Iggy Pop round out the \u201cgreatest zombie cast ever disassembled,&#8221; as the marketing declares.
