Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead (2023)

Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead takes the tired, gray misery of modern work life and detonates it with a neon-bright zombie apocalypse, turning the end of the world into a strangely life-affirming celebration. What makes it special is its buoyant spirit: instead of wallowing in doom, it rides on Akira’s contagious optimism and a comic, kinetic energy that keeps the movie feeling like a madcap sprint toward freedom. The tone is gory but playful, mixing splattery horror with big laughs and an oddly sincere reminder that you don’t need permission to start living. It’s not for everyone—TV-MA violence, stylized gore, and sexual content are very much part of the package—but if you like your horror with heart and your comedy with bite, this one’s an easy recommendation.

Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead wants to be a bright, cathartic zombie comedy about escaping corporate misery and finally choosing how to live, and the premise is genuinely appealing. The problem is the live-action execution often feels awkward and uneven, with pacing that drifts and performances that don’t always sell the big tonal swings between heartfelt, silly, and gory. When it’s clicking, the stylized violence and upbeat “bucket list” energy can be fun, and the core idea of finding freedom in chaos has a nice spark. If you’re expecting sharp satire, consistent humor, or a zombie movie with real momentum, this may feel more like a noisy concept reel than a satisfying ride—especially given the heavy TV-MA gore and sexual content.
