One of the most poorly devised films I've ever seen.

I love torture flicks, gore, etc. However I also like things like...character development, plot, cohesive storytelling, etc. Deadgirl has none of these things. Sure, teenage boys are horny, but they aren't all sexually deviated psychopaths. JT has no qualms beating, raping, and renting out some random woman they find to class mates, and the movie never eludes why he'd have such behavior (or why Rickie wouldn't have noticed this sooner in his lifelong friend).

Meanwhile Rickie is continuously riddled with teenage angst and dealing with the "perils" of suburbia. His mother works all the time while he deals with her lazy, but "means well" alcoholic boyfriend. Poor Rickie. It puzzles me why these films never choose protagonists from more interesting backgrounds, or why teenagers are portrayed by actors in their mid-20's. These "teens" felt like crude caricatures of teenagers, and came across very ridiculous.

This movie could have an hour sliced from it and you'd miss absolutely nothing. The dialogue is meaningless and utilizes "man" before and after every sentence at a staggeringly obnoxious rate. The writer(s) were incredibly out of touch with the age group. The plot is dragged through scenes of Rickie riding his bike, brooding, and eying his high school crush. Seriously? You're class mates are raping a supernatural bondage zombie sex slave, and you're focused on getting the popular girl in school?! Absurd...

Zombies spread by infected bacteria and germs transferred through bodily fluids, like blood and saliva. Therefore it seems completely ridiculous that this group of teens can be fingering her gun sores and having sex without risk of infection. The Deadgirl is very feral, which is why she's tied up. That's ignored when the change her into various sexual positions throughout the movie. Even when people are bitten and turned, we don't see them for the rest of the movie. GREAT plotting. What is this Deadgirl? Why is she undead? Why is JT crazy? Why are other kids OK with raping a zombie? Nothing is answered in this movie. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! No foundation, no aim, no destination.

The film would be more entertaining if was campy and gory, but humor is very occasional and conflicts dramatically with everything they build up towards. What a waste. I wasn't disturbed in the least, but my intelligence was insulted. The one thing decent about the whole film is the actress playing "Deadgirl," and she's dead. What does that mean?

Deadgirl tries too hard to shock. It's one of the most incoherent, sloppy, and poorly written films I've ever seen, with more plot holes than I can even convey. But NO--The box says things like "Brilliant" and "Original." Not Hollywood and low-budget don't always equal "good."

There's a lot of great zombie flicks, torture porn, and quirky b-movies out there. This isn't one of them.

For good torture movies, check out "Martyrs," "Inside," or "Frontier(s)" instead.

Violating the lines of conventional horror

This is one demented mindscrew. Deadgirl('09) obliterates all expectations while drilling deeper and deeper into the sexual subconscious. It's an uncomfortable descent into the darkest abyss of human compassion. It explores themes of guilt and temptation with a dark moral complexity while also balancing vulnerability with invincibility. Bizarre, original, and totally morbid, this movie has cult status plastered all over it.

Rickie (Shiloh Fernandez) and J.T. (Noah Segan) are two high school buddies that seem to struggle fitting in with the "cool kids". One day they both skip school to hangout and drink some beers at an abandoned insane asylum. Eventually they stumble upon a presumably dead young woman who is chained naked to a table. Things get even more crazy as they learn that something about her just doesn't feel quite....human? Is she a vampire, zombie, or possibly something supernatural? Questions go unanswered as J.T. contemplates other uses for this exposed, beautiful woman.

This is the kind of American horror film I love to see. Forget all the lousy remakes or regurgitated popcorn nonsense. How bout one that actually pushes the boundaries and explores new horrifying territory? Deadgirl is directed by Marcel Sarmiento and Gadi Harel and written by Trent Haaga. There are solid acting performances from the cast, plus stellar character development. I couldn't help but feel sorry for the deadgirl, as she is stuck in a nightmarish limbo to be victimized by any passing scumbag. The story also contains graphic nudity to accompany the disturbing subject matter, so proceed with caution.

Surprisingly morbid and unsettling horror film.

Deadgirl is a movie that came out of nowhere. When I first saw it a few months ago, I honestly didn't know what to think of it and no one seemed to know anything about it. The film was very weird and quite original, definitely not the type of mainstream horror that appears regularly on the shelves. Ricky (Shiloh Fernandez) and JT (Noah Segan) are two slackers, who one day while skipping class, decide to hang out in a local abandoned insane asylum. While investigating the basement, they come across the body of a naked girl, chained down to a table. On further inspection, they realize she is alive! Ricky immediately says they should call the cops, but JT has other ideas. JT decides that they should keep her and use her as a sex slave. The problem is that the woman can't be killed and she is the living dead, there is also the problem of her infecting others as you will see in the film as the results were quite sick. First of all I really enjoyed "Deadgirl". The film is quite controversial when it comes to its dark necrophiliac subject matter but it was also a different type of film which I haven't seen before. There are some moments of gore and violence and a seriously twisted climax. The moral ambivalence of the film is actually the most disturbing thing about it. The main performances of Shiloh Fernandez and Noah Segan are very strong and my highest respect goes to Jenny Spain, who spends nearly every scene she is in naked and tormented.Fans of extreme cinema will no doubt enjoy "Deadgirl" while others should probably avoid this sick, twisted and highly amusing film.

didnt care for it - plotless

If others like it; great...I did not. I've watched 1000's of horror movies in my life and I just didnt like this one. One could infer many things about the movie and/or plot, but I had a difficult time thinking much past the overwhelmingly graphic scenes of two young boys raping a half dead (zombie) girl.

I don't discount violence if it is for the sake of an interesting plot or integral for telling a more diverse story, but my opinion is that it just wasn't there in this movie.

I will say on a positive note, the acting wasnt bad for mostly young unknown talent.

Beautiful!!!

This is a pure work of art. It is films like this that make me proud to horror fan. I LOVED this movie so much. Great story, great actors, great special effects. I know the idea of teenagers raping a zombie might upset a few republicans, but this is a classic and if you haven't seen it you haven't lived life.

Product Description

You never forget your first time...

From the producer of HELLRAISER and HEATHERS

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.

From the producer of the seminal "Hellraiser" and the legendary "Heathers", Deadgirl is a new genre classic and a no-holds-barred look at the horror of growing up. Starring Shiloh Fernandez ("Cadillac Records"), Noah Segan ("Brick"), Micheal Bowen ("Kill Bill") and Candice Accola ("Juno").
