    A crackerjack of a thriller

    This film expertly uses the vampire genre to explore the repercussions of growing up under the sway of narcissism and evil. It is a revealing and often terrifying meld of fact, fiction and the fantastical. If you have ever suffered the under the control of a narcissist this film is a must see. I have seen it 4 times and each viewing has revealed more and more layers it is a powerful piece of film making.

    Powerful film, beautifully directed

    I watched the incredibly powerful worldwide premiere of "A Place Among The Dead." It's Juliet Landau's directorial debut. Expect MANY more amazing films from this multi-talented woman. WOW WOW WOW.

Juliet Landau and her husband Deverill Weekes and everybody else who is in the movie are really amazing! I am looking forward to watch A PLACE AMONG THE DEAD again and again :)

    Insightful, thought-provoking, and self-contemplative

    A truly original work that encourages not only insightful and thought-provoking discussion about the nature and repercussions of narcissism but also deep self-reflection about the effects of narcissism in the viewers' own life and experiences. A fantastically meaningful work from a wonderful artist and team

    Fantastic movie with an important theme

    Juliet Landau's directorial debut is a fantastic take on narcissism, using vampirism as the ultimate metaphor to address this all-too-overlooked issue. Landau also gives a stunning, emotional performance as Jules - a version of Landau herself that reflects her upbringing as the child of celebrities. The film's atmosphere is quite Lynchian (think Mulholland Drive). While it is entertaining and will appeal to Landau's 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' fans, the themes speak to a much wider audience. Having seen this mesmerising film several times (and discussed it with Landau), I still have questions - which is good, because this is a thought-provoking film that should be pondered and discussed.
