    The movie also finds the right balance of light and dark for the material. Too dark and people would be depressed and disgusted by what’s on the screen, too light and it would have no effect. Deadgirl gets it just right. No small feat if you think about it.

    Arriving on the heels of America's torture-porn wave, Deadgirl takes a disturbing adolescent male fantasy and glosses it up just enough to pass for a legitimate horror movie.

    This film's dithering, handsome, morally ambivalent Hamlet, is a profoundly unsatisfactory character.

    It's getting increasingly difficult to avoid films as bereft of redeeming qualities as Deadgirl, an exploitation-horror hybrid best left to torture-porn fanboys and academics seeking to dissect the outer reaches of the contemporary young-male mindset.

    So much more than it seems. A coming of age relationship movie all about a dead girl in the basement. Words can't describe it - just see it.

    Brilliant, the haters are running out of reasons for hating thought provoking horror films. They throw out words like torture porn and misogynistic, but that's why they're not real horror fans. They are Walmart safe, remake fans. Expand

    Let me start off by saying I love this film. Disturbing subject matter aside it is a brilliantly crafted movie in every aspect. The majority of people will write this movie off because of the premise but if you have a heart for horror movies you will absolutely positively adore it. I can't give anything away, you just really have to watch the whole thing and see for yourself. Expand

    It at least has an original plot, and the acting is fine, but it is a very unpleasant movie. It has a creepy atmosphere and is well edited. Just the whole subject matter is a bit of a turn off. Expand
