Trivia
Nick Offerman can be heard narrating the documentary on Machu Pichu in the beginning of the film. One of the several ties to Aubrey Plaza's role in the series Parks and Recreation (2009).

Goofs
When Zach is inside the MRI scanner, he would not have been allowed to lift his head to look down as this would affect image acquisition. Also, it would not be possible for him to see his mother sitting in a chair reading a magazine as he stared down through the bore of the scanner. MRI scanners produce high magnetic fields and for safety reasons, the waiting area will not be in such close proximity to the scanner.

Quotes
Erica Wexler: I'm so sorry about Beth, by the way. Your mom talked to my mom about it.
Zach Orfman: I used to really want her to come back.
Erica Wexler: Of course.
Zach Orfman: But things are really complicated between us, you know? Like kind of fucked up.
Erica Wexler: Right.
Zach Orfman: Now, I just kind of wish she would stay dead.

Back to normal is sometimes not good.

The movie did not reach my expectation, but still I enjoyed watching it. A story like this I never thought would do fairly, a better movie from the average section. I think not without the Aubrey Plaza, she as a Beth was excellent. Not a career defining performance, but funny enough. The story looks only faintly different from other similar films, but a few good scenes saved it. If it had a couple more good jokes and maybe a twist, surely would have been done greatly at the box office.

There's no surprise material in it, I thinks that's negative about it. Easy to read the situation and predict the story within the first 15 minutes, but the second half was drastically changed its pace as well as the atmosphere in the story. If you've not seen many zombie films, especially comedy ones, then you may find it better than average.

Definitely a decent direction for a first timer, got a good support from the cast. For a small budget, this is a wonderful production quality. It surely upset you if you expect like 'Warm Bodies' or 'Shaun of the Dead', but if you know all about it before giving a try, the disappointment will be lessened and you may have a decent time pass with it.
