    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 Read This!

    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.

    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.
