Much of the allegorical force Harel and Sarmiento's film has built up is undone by its utterly conventional, lameass-switcheroo ending, which may be an indication that more than enough virtual ink has been spilled on this subject.

Written by a weirdo named Trent Haaga for no other purpose than to outrage, Deadgirl is part S&M porno, part supernatural chiller, and worthy only if you're interested in how far movies can go before the police arrive.

[It] has more fantastically blunt, clunky, and downright laughable teen-sex dialogue per minute than anything this side of Larry Clark.

3/5

While it's an undoubtedly harrowing watch (heed all the content warnings), Deadgirl fascinates as a twisted coming of age tale.

3.5/5

An extremely challenging film about toxic masculinity that is well made, but simultaneously unpalatable for most audiences. Begs the question: who is this for and how successful is it?

The filmmakers don't really push the envelope visually as much as they are trying to conceptually.

Slow to get to its awesome climax. "I love you" "Grow up" It changed everything I thought about this crazy movie with its crazy concept. 2 lines... my God. Worth a watch. Very difficult to give it a score higher than that though.

Low-budget, but compelling and different enough for me to watch the whole thing to the end. I do not know if it would work better or worse as a comedy. It would definitely be much more disturbing if the teenagers' captive was a real, living girl...too much so, I would imagine. Thus, the prudent choice- to make her a zombie.

interesting premise, very messed up but I enjoyed it. A different take on the zombie genre, acting was very good. Didn't expect the ending!

Unusual and strange zombie horror mixed with dark teenage sexual fantasy. It's a very cult, low budget, sexualised, indie horror flick and whilst pretty unique it never truly grabbed me. It's meant to be revealing of toxic teen masculinity and peer pressure but just ended up being mostly a bit tasteless. The acting is good and the effects, whilst low budget, do their job well. However, it's quite slow, largely unpleasant in nature and limited in its scope despite pretentions to be more than it is. I did like the twisted if predictable payoff ending though. Not bad but very, very niche.

An extremely different spin on a zombie movie Call me crazy but I quite enjoyed this . It is pretty gross and disturbing. But being a life long horror fan you expect to come across the odd strange one. Which we don't mind if the film is good enough. And personally I will say this one had me really engrossed. I do like the two main actors in general, they do usually pick quite interesting projects. And the zombie girl I found pretty terrifying. So hats off to the actor who played her!
