Life After Beth is a take on an overcooked trope that actually finds a way to convince you to invest in the characters and story. A difficult task indeed.

Full disclosure, as a rule, I hate zombie movies. I think most of them are just awful, overdone hack jobs (no pun intended.)

There are, as with anything, some exceptions. This is one of them. The focus is never inherently on that element at all. The focus remains firmly on the character development throughout. The makers actually found a way to make the entire premise interesting, even though the base has been told a million times, usually poorly.

Love Aubrey Plaza. Love John C. Reilly. That was enough to convince me to give it a chance, and I'm actually thankful that I did. Perhaps there is hope for this burnt out genre after all.
