2020 • dir Hayden J. Weal w/Thomas Sainsbury, Hayden J. Weal, Tomai Ihaia • 90 min
We’re kicking off the Halloween season with a special one-week run of this charming horror/comedy from New Zealand. A hapless stoner nicknamed Marbles (Sainsbury) has discovered a drug cocktail that allows him to speak with the recently deceased and he hires out this talent to those looking for closure with their loved ones. When he is tracked down by the spirit of a gung-ho cop (Weal), murdered while on the trail of a serial killer, Marbles finds himself acting as a proxy investigator… and in grave danger. Following in the footsteps of Peter Jackson’s The Frighteners, DEAD treats its horror roots with respect but still milks every situation for an awkward laugh. The film has a low-key spirit and, despite some clumsy moments that lean a bit too heavily on caricaturish stereotypes, the film ultimately has its (dark) heart in the right place.
