"Stoner serial-killer comedy runs out of puff."

The Guardian

"This teeny-weeny ghosts and ghouls story uses all the tricks of the filmmaker's trade to make this heart-warming and very entertaining film look and feel great. It's helped by a tight simple premise, great performances and a cracking script."

Newshub

"Like writer-director Weal’s impressive 2016 debut Chronesthesia, Dead is something of a genre mash-up. But whereas that visual love letter to Wellington wore its mix of comedy and romance lightly, Dead offers something far brasher – with mixed results."
