    Dug it big time

    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)

    Even if you hate this movie, you'll love it

    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...

    Never seen a movie like this before!

    This is one of the most original movie I've ever seen. This movie is emotional, funny, dark, shocking, impactful and so much more. The creative outlook that is this movie cuts deeper than most, and leaves you feeling genuine feelings of distraught and sorrow for both Dood and the director.

    I NEED YOU TO WATCH THIS FILM!

    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.

    Beautiful

    A brilliant work of independent and b horror cinema. An instant cult classic. The deterioration of the plot and cinematic quality was perfectly meta and executed beautifully. The soundtrack alone is worthy of it's own write up. A perfect collaboration of portland best musicians and artist.
