Which are my thoughts about this film in general, it is a neat idea, but it lacks the energy you expect from a Joe Dante movie...The actors all do a great job, Anton Yelchin especially is very believable in this unbelievable setting so that you care about what 's going on.The photography is good, but i expected more, mostly in the scenes which are supposed to be (obvious, cause Joe Dante) homages to old horror movies. I expected something like in "The Burbs", when Tom Hanks goes to the house of his neighbours and the whole weather seems to change...The effects work really well, the Zombie make-up and body-get- crippled-scenes are fairly effective, and the actress does a great job.The soundtrack (normally a big part of Dantes movies) feels very bland and there are two key scenes where the music is totally out of place and takes the emotion, or tension away.BUT it's overall a very cute little movie, which works as a nice, morbid couple-night film that you can enjoy...

Submissive horror-fan Max (Anton Yelchin) is stuck in a relationship he can't get out of. His domineering but beautiful girlfriend, Evelyn (Ashley Greene) re-decorates his apartment without his permission, won't allow him to drink milk and other such offenses. Quite frankly, Max would rather be with a cute ice cream shop owner (Alexandra Daddario) but doesn't quite know how to make the proper transition. As luck would have it, Evelyn gets hit by a bus and dies. End of story right? Wrong. A zombie-comedy not unlike, say, "Warm Bodies," "Burying The Ex" is the latest offering from director Joe Dante, who brought such beloved genre fare as "Gremlins" and "The Howling" to the big screen. While not quite up to the standards of said halcyon era, Dante works well within a limited budget and with a capable cast. Yelchin plays the hapless Max perfectly (when will someone give this guy bigger and more prominent work?) while Greene plays the waspy, oppressive and yet irresistible counterpart to a T. Even when the film doesn't quite fire on all cylinders, it remains enjoyable thanks in no small part to its talented young cast.Unfortunately, the film feels somewhat stagnant in other places. It doesn't quite riff on genre tropes as much as one would hope, working from a surprisingly pedestrian script. Originally conceived as a 15 minute short, "Burying The Ex" feels like a small-scale concept stretched too thin. To be frank, this would have made for a great "Tales From The Crypt" or "Creepshow" segment. As a feature- length film, however, it comes up short. Dante doesn't bring the anarchic spark he brought to "Gremlins 2: The New Batch" or the heart of "Matinee," becoming another in a long line of horror directors currently spinning their wheels.It's not that "Burying The Ex" is bad, per se. But it all feels fairly pedestrian and, well, forgettable. You could bury this one in your subconscious and just forget you ever saw it altogether. And that's a shame. With a more than capable cast and a proved director, "Burying The Ex" should have added up to more than just a pleasant 90 minute diversion. Add it to your Netflix queue, have a drink or two and enjoy the silly shenanigans, but don't be surprised if you forget to call the "Ex" back in the future.

A neat story in witch a guy is at one step to break-off the relationship with his girlfriend because she begins to be mean with other peoples and authoritarian in the house. Soon Max meets an ice- scream clerk and she falls in love with him and the faith makes that his current evil girlfriend will by hit by a bus and die but it's to soon to be happy because even after death she will return to stay aside him. What he can do to make her vanish from his life and be with Olivia the more cute and polite girl who has a lot in common? To be fair I didn't know what to expect from this movie, I though it will be a horror but turns out to be more like a black comedy with less disturbing and gory scenes. The combination is good the acting of the evil girlfriend who has return from the dead as a zombie makes the whole film to be entertaining. The performance of Anton Yelchin I kinda dislike it, it seems on the screen to be bored and soft just like "ok let's finish this already". I liked him more in Charlie Bartlett. Perhaps a more lively actor would have been a better choice or a comedy one since this one has humor in it.But still even so, for the viewers who love this zombie-love- resurrect type, this will make a Sunday afternoon even more sunny.

Joe Dante's glory days seem to be several decades ago as he never really managed to top Gremlins. Maybe his films were too reverential to horror films that influenced him and had too many actors from his stock company popping up in cameos.Max (Anton Yelchin) is in an unhappy relationship with Evelyn (Ashley Greene) his volatile girlfriend. A devil genie idol grants them a wish in a twisted way as they are bound to be together forever. Unfortunately when Evelyn is run over by a bus she comes back from the dead as a zombie still wanting to be with Max.In the meantime Max has moved on with hip ice cream shop owner Olivia (Alexandra Daddario) who has an immediate attraction to him. Max needs to stop Evelyn, his half brother helps out but Evelyn then gets a lust for brains.This is a romantic zombie horror-comedy. Its a low budget B film from a director who once made better and bigger budget films with full studio backing.Dante has his trademark touches such as having Dick Miller around as the oldest cop on duty and there are old horror film clips featuring Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing.It is fast paced but uneven film . Outside of the two female leads it is let down by Yelchin who is not good enough as the male lead. It is surprisingly to see him look so old with receding hair even though he was only in his mid 20s. I think he struggled with the material and just turned up for the pay cheque and delivered a so-so performance.
