Sean Gilman In Review Online An existential comedy about scary movies and celebrity, a kind of Scream meets Monsters, Inc. meets All About Eve, deeply steeped in the aesthetics of 21st-century East Asian horror... Dead Talents Society is a breeze. Sep 17, 2024 Full Review Anna Miller Collider Themes of finding oneself, navigating loss and change as well as the importance of found family can be discovered at its core. The film is indeed reminiscent of other satirical comedy horror flicks of times past, but it still has its own unique soul. Rated: 8/10 Sep 16, 2024 Full Review Will Bjarnar Next Best Picture Perhaps the film’s strongest element is how it balances the notion of one’s search for an identity with its ghostly conceit. Rated: 6/10 Sep 13, 2024 Full Review Sarah Musnicky But Why Tho? A Geek Community Dead Talents Society is a darkly comedic love letter to the misfits, the losers, and anyone who has ever struggled to find what makes them special. Rated: 8/10 Sep 11, 2024 Full Review Joe Lipsett Bloody Disgusting Dead Talents Society is a genuine crowd-pleaser: it’s fun, funny, extremely clever and filled with lovable characters.
