SYNOPSIS:

Daringly original and genre-busting, Deadgirl is an odyssey into the soul of our alienated youth that takes the conventions of the horror and coming-of-age movies and turns them on their heads.

When high school misfits Rickie and JT decide to ditch school and find themselves lost in the crumbling facility of a nearby abandoned hospital, they come face-to-face with a gruesome discovery: a body of a woman - stripped naked, chained to a table and covered in plastic - and soon realize she is anything but dead. Quickly the boys find themselves embarking on a twisted yet poignant journey testing the limits of their friendship, and forces both to decide just how far they're willing to stretch their understanding of right and wrong.

Deadgirl is a new genre classic and a no-holds-barred look at the horror of growing up. Starring Shiloh Fernandez ('Evil Dead'), Noah Segan ('Glass Onion'), Michael Bowen ('Breaking Bad') and Candice Accola ('The Vampire Diaries').

REASONS TO WATCH: 

"While it's an undoubtedly harrowing watch (heed all the content warnings), Deadgirl fascinates as a twisted coming of age tale." - Horror Queers Podcast

"An extremely challenging film about toxic masculinity that is well made, but simultaneously unpalatable for most audiences. Begs the question: who is this for and how successful is it?" - Horror Queers Podcast

"A pitiless look at the worst aspects of teenage male horndog-dom ... if there weren't some poisonous kernel of truth in its grotesque, testosterone-poisoned "what if?" premise, no-one would be squirming." - Miss FlickChick
