Dead

Don't ya just love a stoner comedy with a heart? Yeah. It's a thing. Perhaps "Pineapple Express" or "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" sparks a synapse?

"Death" is an indie tripper out of New Zealand about "Marbles", a pothead with a predilection to talk to ghosts (Thomas Sainsbury in an hilariously touching performance). Leave it to those kooky Kiwis to smash up smokin' j's, séances and serial killing jags into one sensationally silly saga with a serious side.

And the cop never puts on pants.

...then the entire movie ended up being. It kind of ended up being drawn out and not funny and a little too wacky. If the movie would have stuck with its humorous beginning and stayed like that throughout it would have been a much better watch.

The cast & crew writers and director must be fans of peter Jackson's early stuff but also his breakout movie the frighteners.... it's flaws are indie movie flaws and nothing more.... it's a good time and will warm your heart!

Wasn't expecting to enjoy this film as much as I did! Had a few laugh out loud moments with an interesting storyline. Good Friday night watch for sure.

A watchable mystery that tends to drag but is well acted, most of the time. Some guy can see dead guys and while helping a dead cop uncover who killed him he encounters some strange people and some weird stuff happens. Yes, the comedy is a bit flat but it does keep it light. More a TV movie really.
