      Burying the Ex

      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Burying the Ex boasts flickers of director Joe Dante's former flair, but neither the concept nor its execution live up to the standard set by his best efforts.

      steve d It doesn't really work but the actors are fun. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Liam D While it's not one of Joe Dante's (Innerspace, Amazing Stories) worst movies it's just forgettable but has great performances from Anton Yelchin (The Pirates, 5 to 7) and Alexandra Daddario (The House, The Hottest State) Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/22 Full Review Audience Member when you want to bury your exes haahaha Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member neither funny nor scary. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/18/18 Full Review Audience Member This is a horrible film. It really falls flat on every level. Very surprised Joe Dante directed this! One star for Alexandra Daddario. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Its purely a basic B-movie, with humor and enough eye-candy to be tolerable, but the absurdity behind the dry concept never goes further, specially considering it is a Joe Dante flick, which it only makes it even more disappointing. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      David Edelstein New York Magazine/Vulture It's a lot of fun, and Dante's heart is palpably in it. Jun 19, 2015 Full Review Glenn Kenny RogerEbert.com Even masters have their off days ... and Dante's new picture, "Burying The Ex," seems to have been made over the course of quite a few of them. Rated: 1.5/4 Jun 19, 2015 Full Review Ben Kenigsberg New York Times The freedom of the director's best work is missing. Jun 19, 2015 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review It's an easy recommendation for Dante devotees, horror-comedy nuts, and even those with a soft spot for rom-coms. Rated: 3/4 Jun 9, 2022 Full Review Naila Scargill Exquisite Terror Populated by stock types, the story is backed by little in the way of characterisation, and missing is a necessary campiness to complement the aesthetic. Feb 28, 2019 Full Review Brad Miska Bloody Disgusting Even though Burying the Ex shambles through the motions like an actual zombie, it inherently has a good spirit and is trying so desperately to entertain. And that's more than can say about a lot of other horror films... Apr 14, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews
