Burying the Ex

About This Movie

Burying the Ex is this quirky blend of comedy and horror that Joe Dante serves up with his signature flair. The film's got a fun, irreverent tone, almost like a love letter to the genre while poking fun at relationship clichés. The pacing is pretty brisk, with enough zany moments to keep you engaged, especially when Evelyn comes back as a zombie—talk about an awkward reunion, right? The practical effects are a treat, nothing overly flashy, but they have that charming, old-school vibe. Anton Yelchin and Ashley Greene bring some solid performances, making you feel for both characters—Max caught between the living and the undead. It’s distinctive how it blends ghoulish humor with real emotional stakes.
