Reviewers from sites like IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes have noted that the film serves as both a "love and hate letter" to American culture. Key lifestyle themes include:
: Much of the comedy comes from the characters trying to manage "undead actors" while dealing with their own incompetence.
: The movie includes "fake" commercials and headlines that lampoon American consumerism and patriotism.
: It pokes fun at tired tropes found in The Walking Dead and Zombieland .
Watch the official trailer to see the filmmaker's unusual approach to surviving the outbreak:
The story is set in , where Sam Pentergrass, a wannabe filmmaker, has just been rejected from a major film festival. When a sudden zombie outbreak occurs, Sam sees it as a unique opportunity: instead of running for safety, he gathers a group of "nobodies" to film a low-budget horror flick using actual zombies as the stars.
: The film utilizes stereotypical characters—from "rednecks" to "asshat actors"—to capture a specific slice of small-town American life.
