Wendy Ide Screen International With its blend of lurid camp and twisted romanticism, its embrace of gleefully lo-fi special effects and a twangy electro-retro score, Grace Glowicki’s Dead Lover, a singular spin on the Frankenstein story, sets its sights firmly on cult status. Jan 31, 2025 Full Review Robert Daniels RogerEbert.com A loony, earnestly delirious dark romantic film with a handmade quality. Jan 30, 2025 Full Review Jacob Oller AV Club As the thin resurrection-gone-wrong film wears on, its novelty begins to rot after being unnaturally extended past its normal lifespan. Rated: C Jan 25, 2025 Full Review Jason Gorber Collider As a piece of genre Midnight mayhem, Dead Lover delivers. For hungry audiences at the likes of Montreal’s Fantasia or other genre fests around the world, there will be hoots and hollers from a hungry audience wanting every gloriously zany moment. Rated: 7/10 Jan 31, 2025 Full Review Brittany Patrice Witherspoon Pop Culture Reviews Say what you will about its execution, but conceptually, Dead Lover is as wild and creative as it gets. Rated: 3/5 Jan 30, 2025 Full Review David Cuevas Next Best Picture Regardless of the cultural regurgitation of pre-existing iconography, “Dead Lover” stands out from the braindead crowd — embellished by its campy tone and filthy jocoseness. Rated: 7/10 Jan 29, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
