TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Jan 2 The Dead Things is a horror film that feels like a complete misfire. Even at a low rental price, it’s hard not to feel frustrated by how chaotic and unfocused the experience is. The story jumps back and forth, never settling into a clear direction, and becomes exhausting rather than engaging. The screenplay is the film’s biggest weakness. It feels overwritten while offering very little substance. The central concept involving a creepy figure shifting between life and death never fully develops, and the repetition drains tension. There’s little character growth, no emotional stakes, and no real sense of consequence. The acting itself isn’t bad. There are capable performers who could have delivered something interesting with stronger material. Unfortunately, the messy structure undermines their efforts and wastes potential. Ultimately, The Dead Things is a disaster of ideas with no payoff. It’s confusing, dull, and unsatisfying. This is not a film worth recommending at all now yep! See more Dave C Sep 19 Absolutely AWFUL. Movie likes itself enough for everyone. How is this highly critically rated? Boring dumb loop. Faux depth about toxic relationships and cheating with a friend's boyfriend. Drags on forever. AWFUL!!!! AVOID!!!! See more Francesco M Jul 9 Half star just because I couldn't give 0. The movie is cheap and it shows. The ghost' s make up looks like is done by a 4 years old. The story boring and predictable, the timeline in which the movie happens,is so very confusing most of the times. Some sub plots gets open and never concluded. TERRIBLE. See more MB C @MB.Cinema Jun 29 The Dead Thing is a slow-burning psychological horror that explores the terrifying emptiness of modern connection. Through muted tones, quiet performances, and eerie stillness, the film dives deep into themes of digital intimacy, emotional vacancy, and obsession.....Blu Hunt delivers a hauntingly restrained performance, while Ben Smith-Petersen shifts from charm to menace with unsettling ease. Though its pacing may test patience and some subplots feel underdeveloped, the film succeeds in crafting an atmosphere of quiet dread. Not every scare needs a scream—sometimes, silence is the loudest sound...... See more Jeffrey P Jun 19 Starts lame, gets lamer, the ending is the lamest. It’s relationship horror which, when it deals with the supernatural, has two speeds - slow and dead. This, admittedly, is dead. There’s no conflict and only a sense of rising action, both of which mean there’s no resolution. The camera play and acting are okay use of colors, shapes, letters, and numbers but it's still not quite on the level of One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish. See more Lance B Apr 15 The biggest issue is its sluggish pacing. The story meanders through Alex's repetitive daily life and her string of one-night stands, taking far too long to establish its central conflict. By the time the supernatural elements come into play, the momentum has already been drained, making the climax feel anticlimactic and unsatisfying. the visuals are interesting at times, but often feel like distractions rather than enhancements to the story.
