“If I’d known I was going to end up dead anyway, I wouldn’t have given a damn.” Prime Video revealed an official trailer for a Mexican horror comedy mini-series titled I Would Rather Die, originally known as Prefiero la Muerte in Spanish. It’s ready for streaming in October for everyone to enjoy. “Between being a teen and being a teen zombie, growing up has never been this hard.” The zombie comedy (zomcom) series has similar vibes to 2013 horror comedy Warm Bodies with Nicolas Hoult, also about an undead boyfriend. In this one, Archie is the ultimate high-school loser in the sleepy Mexican town of Mendoza — until he gets bitten by a zombie at the corner mini-mart. Now stuck between puberty and the undead, he teams up with his goth best friend and his platonic crush to stop an evil plot that could send the whole place into a full-blown apocalypse. Pyramid-scheme vitamin pushers, hardcore religious ladies, school bullies, and one very messy coming-of-age zombie comedy collide in this horror. 🧟 “Looks like pure chaotic fun.” Starring Diego Bernal as Archie, Lilith Curiel, Farah Justiniani, Fernanda Castillo, Armando Hernández, Luis Fernando Peña, and Lissa. Even if it is similar to Warm Bodies, still looks like a freaky fun zombie series.
