Review: (#1) There isn’t much to this. The colors are mediocre and the layout is rudimentary.

(#2-#5) This series of character posters, which look like the start of a much larger batch, don’t have more than a couple unique backgrounds, but the overall design is interesting enough.

(#6-#10) A continuation of the prior series, confirming there was a larger batch. Of the remaining ten names on the poster, only four more of them are featured here with the fifth being the primary design for the film.

Trailer Rating: B / B-

Review: (#1) If the idea of Jim Jarmusch doing a zombie film isn’t already enough for you, this trailer won’t do it. While it’s nice to see some quality actors involved, there’s little here to sufficiently resonate with modern audiences.

(#2) The dry humor is best on display here, but the trailer presents a plodding, unfocused film.
