Deadgirl

Posted on February 25, 2019

Two high school boys skip school to drink, smoke, and goof off in an abandoned mental hospital. In the basement they find a woman chained naked to a table, apparently in a strange undead state. One boy wants to keep her as a sex slave, and one boy wants to liberate; both plans lead to gruesome consequences.

This movie has a similar vibe to The Corpse of Anna Fritz: toxic masculinity, the perils of peer pressure, borderline necrophilia. “Anna Fritz” is the better movie, with a much more satisfying conclusion, but “Deadgirl” has some moments of real tension and stays on-message without becoming preachy.
