Richard Whittaker

Austin Chronicle

Brutally honest, startlingly insightful, and poignant when it could have been bizarre, Dead Dicks earns its tragic, purposefully misleading title and reframes it with dire meaning.

Dead Dicks tackles taboos, blending trippy horror, irreverent humor, and shocking tenderness to create a film that's both darkly challenging and wildly entertaining.

Ready Steady Cut

A sharply observed and brilliantly constructed micro-budget horror full of wit and feeling. Writer/directors Chris Bavota and Lee Paula Springer are names to look out for.

Rated: 4/5

If you can look past all the insanity, you will find a really poignant statement in there somewhere.

Film Threat

Thanks to an impeccable cast and a more substantial, interesting second half, the movie is worth watching at least once.

Rated: 6/10

I love high-concept films like this. It's a refreshing and darkly humorous look at mental health, while wrapping it in absurd cosmic horror.

The audience score of this movie needs to get even lower to warn people, so I'm actually giving it less than it deserves. In reality I'd give it 1,5/5 for the effort. But it's just... not working. All critics focus on the theme of suicide, nobody focuses on the fact that the tone just shifts too much, and mostly the reactions of the protagonists to certain really hmm strange situations make no sense, and neither do any of their annoying illogical decisions. There's a limit to anyone's suspension of disbelief. Great, we're talking about mental illness, but that doesn't make it a great movie, sorry. Stopped halfway in, it was just too ... all over the place, and no, not in a good sense.

The type of movie you are glad you can jump ahead in. Waste of time in my opinion.

Really great indie film. Has a Duplass Bros. DIY vibe to it which I love. Went in expecting just horror and sci fi but got a really emotional drama wrapped up in it too. Looking forward to what the directors do next!

Worst movie I've seen so far in 2020. Especially the end, it doesn't make any sense.

This is one of the genre movies dealing with mental health and how to get rid of dead bodies. It deserves its 100% Rotten Tomato Rating. Tell your friends!!
