Netflix is now streaming Bill Murray and Adam Driver's cult classic horror that fans absolutely love

The movie boasts a glittering line-up of celebs

A cult classic horror movie starring two Hollywood legends has just been added to Netflix.

It might almost be Christmas - no, I'm not sure how either - and, if you're anything like me, you're probably looking for a bit of a breather from all things festive.

From a comfort show classic to a '10/10' film that's being compared to Die Hard (I will not be accepting any takes on Die Hard being a Christmas film, thank you), Netflix has plenty of options to binge-watch at the moment.

But fans of Bill Murray and Adam Driver will be delighted to know a comedy-horror flick starring the duo has finally landed on the streamer.

First released in 2019, you'll be spending the whole one hour and 43 minute run celeb-spotting, thanks to the movie's stellar line-up.

The likes of Selena Gomez, Tilda Swinton, Steve Buscemi, Chloe Sevigny and more appear in the the Jim Jarmusch-directed movie, titled The Dead Don't Die.

It follows the citizens of Centerville as they face a terrifying reality: the dead rising from their graves and feasting on the living.

While the concept of a zombie movie is nothing new, it's Jarmusch's deadpan humor - and the aforementioned glittering line-up - that sets The Dead Don't Die apart from the rest.

You can watch the trailer below:

Taking to social media, fans have praised the movie - although not everyone quite appreciates Jarmusch's style of humor.

Over on Reddit, one person said: "I loved it. Jarmusch is an odd duck for sure, but I really liked the meta vibe of it.

"A gentle, and yet surprisingly bleak horror comedy. Plus the regular use of the banger theme song was consistently hilarious to me."

A second person agreed: "It's Jim Jarmusch unleashed & I loved it, but he's not for everyone."

A third admitted: "The first time I watched it I was pretty nonplussed with it but on re-watch a year later I found myself really enjoying the humour and nihilistically deadpan approach."

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes haven't exactly given it a glowing appraisal, scoring it just 54 percent across 318 reviews.

The site's critical consensus reads: "The Dead Don't Die dabbles with tones and themes to varying degrees of success, but sharp wit and a strong cast make this a zom-com with enough brains to consume."

Rating it 3.5 out of five, David Griffiths of Subculture Entertainment described it as 'smart enough to be different than previous zombie horror-comedies like Zombieland and Shaun Of The Dead' with a 'unique Jamusch stamp on it' that he reckoned would be 'adored by those who love his unique style of filmmaking.'

The Dead Don't Die is available to stream now on Netflix.
