Your Daily Dose of Deadgirl

"Deadgirl definitely has its disturbing moments. But I was pleasantly surprised to find out that it’s just as much a story about friendship, young love and loneliness... The two directors have done an excellent job of working with their actors to portray teenagers so numb and beyond moral reproach; I was reminded of a Larry Clark film, with a touch of George Romero thrown in to make it unique... Dark Sky Films have the making of a real cult classic on their hands. Obviously the subject matter is going to scare off a lot of people, but for those of you who like intelligent horror movies that have some substance, but still make you squirm, check out Deadgirl." — PopDose

"A dark, violent satire. Supremely disturbing."
– The Washington Post

"One of the smartest teen horrors I've watched in some time...Two new faces at Toronto who show more artistic verve and bravery than many of the festival's masters are co-directors Marcel Sarmiento and Gadi Harel, the filmmakers behind the clever, scary, unsettlingly sexual teenage bondage thriller..."
– IndieWIRE

"Forget what you've heard. Past any controversy, Deadgirl is a film beautiful in every way: about friendship, love, rejection, obsession and all the horror that comes along with such teenaged emotions. See it and make it the classic it deserves to be."
- Fangoria

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

"Goes place few horror movies have dared to go."
- Fangoria

- Detroit Metro Times

"A nihilistic teen horror film that plays a both a grim morality tale and insanely dark comedy."
- msn

– Twitch

"A disturbing adolescent male fantasy... Skirts the edge without going over and judging from the raucous reception, twisted auds clearly do exist for such blatantly 'wrong' material."
– Variety

"The bastard child of John Hughes and David Cronenberg!"
– Colin Geddes, Toronto Film Festival

"A teen-angst-and-terror opus."
– Fangoria

"The horror genre is in need of vastly original ideas like this."
– FirstShowing

"Legitimately frightening and surprisingly funny."
– Metro Canada

"A cautionary tale for the ages."
– San Francisco Bay Guardian

"The premise alone is pure brilliance, but where the film takes its teenage characters to is a real revelation of both talent and the male psyche."
–JustPressPlay

– The Culture Pin
