I Need You Dead!

I really enjoyed the movie. I'm usually not into the super cheesy horror stuff in general, but I kept getting sucked in as things started to unfold. This is a great film that any artist can relate to.

There's really nothing like this. Even if you hate I Need You Dead! you'll love it. This movie somehow blends together this awesome, goofy, exciting horror B-movie with a very real, and kind of heartbreaking core. I don't even really know why it works, but it does.

This movie also creates its own conventions, it's invigorating. Like...if this was made with any more budget than it had, it wouldn't feel real. It's kind of like you're watching a home video in a dream...mixed with the movie Adaptation, maybe...8 1/2, a little bit...

Also, I've never seen a movie that feels more like Portland. Like it really cartoonishly nails what kids are up to in the PNW. A glimmer of hope that we won't turn into the Bay Area.

This really might be setting a precedent for a new genre...

I was so excited when I was told it was an indie horror comedy. I'm usually more into just horror but I was hoping the humor would make it an easy watch because even if the horror part was lacking I could just laugh. The beginning was delightful, found the humor actually funny and introduced the main character well. I'd say after him having a breakdown and crying is when it all went down hill. I thought the monster was cute how it was grotesque and mean and wanted the plot to be centered around the monster but instead it started focusing on cops. My poor girlfriend also fell asleep around this time (maybe you can also blame the midnight showing) and I honestly don't blame her. It was super hard to stay into the movie when I didn't even know what was happening anymore. At the end trying to catch my girlfriend up on the way home was hard because it just didn't have a good narrative. At the end of the day I think it was a cool concept and it really felt like there was love put into it and I don't want to be harsh. Just not my cup of tea I guess.

Shot super well, love the variety of aesthetics throughout the film. Well performed, the voice of the creature reminded me of some goofy 80's villain. I liked DOOD too, he had a lot of range as an actor. you can tell they had a low budget, and there are times where it shows, but the movie has heart and that's all that mattered to me. it def has some crazy twists and turns but you kinda just have to see it for yourself. really dug it, def will rec to friends! (also the music was crazy haha)

I love this film to say the least. I Need You Dead! molds together multiple genres so naturally that it feels like it's in a world of its own. You don't really know what you're getting yourself into until you are already in it. It will draw you in, let you get comfortable, and then chew you up and spit you out, making you feel like a different person at the end, all in a matter of a couple hours. It's a refreshing film to watch right now. There is so much soul put into it, and it's a breath of fresh air compared to all the stale films that are just trying to put a new spin on something old. Now, not everyone will enjoy every aspect of this film because at some points, it can be hard to watch, and It's not for the feint of heart. It pushes the boundaries of what we are willing to address/acknowledge in our daily lives as people, and that's a good thing. You should always seek out things that push you out of your comfort zone because otherwise how can you grow? Overall, I would give I Need You Dead! 10/10 because it does exactly what it sets out to do, and does it well. It's an awesome piece of independent cinema from start to finish. I absolutely love it.
