Satiric, metaphorically rich adventure jerks viewers around with stunning ease, as zombies are, by turns, horrifying, heroic, made clownish, and even forgotten.

In post-World War III America, where the walking dead outnumber the living, a determined band of mismatched survivors scour hostile terrain in their quest for shelter and community. But not all the living they encounter are benign.
