Cath Clarke Guardian 10/29/2020
2/5
It doesn't quite pull it off as a spoofy send-up - there are too few laughs and no scares. Go to Full Review
Richard Whittaker Austin Chronicle 09/25/2020
2/5
It's not that Dead is unfunny - it's just not consistently funny enough. The jokes don't always land, and sometimes they're on-the-nose, like Marbles and Tagg taking about possession as a way to be inside each other. Go to Full Review

3/5
Our hero might be Dead on arrival but this film is alive and kicking and frightfully good fun. Go to Full Review

3.5/5
Enjoyably optimistic comedy-mystery from New Zealand about an unexpected friendship, a serial killer, and bereavement. Go to Full Review

3.0/4.0
Special effects in this little indie film are outstanding, but it's the preposterous yet entertaining characters that make it worth seeing. Go to Full Review
Hasitha Fernando Flickering Myth 11/16/2020
Despite its flaws, Dead is a great buddy horror comedy which delivers on the laughs and scares whilst packing an emotional punch. Go to Full Review

10/06/2020 Good movie, my two complaints is that the ending is a bit all over the place but it gets the job done. The main thing is that they felt the need to give the main character a love interest that doesn't make sense for the plot or for any other reason, it's the worst part of the movie, but good movie overall.
