Guardian

It doesn't quite pull it off as a spoofy send-up - there are too few laughs and no scares.

Rated: 2/5

Austin Chronicle

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.

Rated: 2/5

Flick Feast

Our hero might be Dead on arrival but this film is alive and kicking and frightfully good fun.

Rated: 3/5

Ready Steady Cut

Enjoyably optimistic comedy-mystery from New Zealand about an unexpected friendship, a serial killer, and bereavement.

Rated: 3.5/5

Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam

Special effects in this little indie film are outstanding, but it's the preposterous yet entertaining characters that make it worth seeing.

Rated: 3.0/4.0

Flickering Myth

Despite its flaws, Dead is a great buddy horror comedy which delivers on the laughs and scares whilst packing an emotional punch.

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.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
