Deadgirl, a childrens' fantasy

Not sure what this site is, but if you come across it looking for information about Deadgirl, be warned; their synopsis is just a slight bit misleading: "Catweazle is a magician from the time of the Normans who is cast into the future by magic. With the help of two boys he uses magic in an attempt to return to his own time."

I am tearing up.

Head over to Deadgirl screenwriter Trent Haaga's blog (click here) for what he's calling – and he might be right – "Best. Deadgirl. Review. Ever."

Audacious!

The Hollywood Reporter begins by calling Deadgirl "an audacious, perverse shocker" and finishes with "this unsavory adolescent fantasy gone wrong proves difficult to dismiss."

Best part is it got picked up by Reuters, and then by a bunch of other sites – so here's the Yahoo link to the entire review.

Deadgirl is featured in this AFI Daily News article, which spotlights documentary aesthetics in feature films. Honestly, it seems like a little bit of a stretch to include us in the piece, but at the same time it's always nice to be included and Marc Lee is clearly a fan. He wanted to fit us in and it's great that he managed to.

Thanks

We just wanted to thank everyone who came out to our incredible AFI screenings. (And an extra little thanks to Quam and Chris over at Reserve Result for the polaroid of us and Deadgirl-star Noah Segan).

"Deadgirl will sometimes remind you of the best of Cronenberg. Cleverly written, stylishly directed and morbidly fascinating. It isn't your average cookie cutter horror film... Deadgirl gets it just right." - Film Threat

San Sebastian Sneak

There was another surprise one-night-only screening of Deadgirl the other night in San Sebastian, Spain. Again, thanks to Google translator...

From Cementerio de Historias:
" The last film of the day, and surprise of the night was Deadgirl. A film about teenagers who find a woman chained zombie in a madhouse, and decide to use abandoned as a sex slave... but "Deadgirl" is more than that, its development approach and the dramatic situation of living actors make the movie... Intense, dirty, dramatic and even funny, this film keeps the suspense at all times thanks to a very neat picture, an assembly and intelligent direction, and a soundtrack that portrays the grisly sadism perfection of situations.

From Semana de Terror:
"But the best of the night was undoubtedly the film surprise. DeadGirl is a discovery. Has much merit to keep the viewer's attention after so many hours of movies.
