Summary: After skipping school and breaking into the boiler room of a deserted mental hospital, buddies Rickie (Shiloh Fernandez) and JT (Noah Segan) make a shocking discovery: the plastic-covered naked body of a woman lying on a gurney. When they realize that the woman may be alive, JT shocks Rickie by suggesting they take advantage of her. But all is not as it seems in this dark thriller: The door to the boiler room had been rusted shut for years.

People seem to think Deadgirl is a stupid horror movie. Those people are mistaken. While about 20 dreadfully boring minutes pass by around a quarter through the film, the stuff that follows is simultaneously disgusting, hilarious, and frighteningly culturally relevant.

Much like Grimm Love, horror fans who can stomach the content should find a lot to admire in Deadgirl, which presents a near-perfect criticism of the adolescent boy's infinite capacity for selfish behavior through solid acting, daring and a sprinkling of dark humor.

Overall this movie isnt as bad as alot of people may lead you to believe. I found this movie very entertaining, though at a few scenes hard to watch. Its not necessarily a horror flick but, more like a dark comedy. If you can get past the obviously gruesome nature of the film it is definitely worth a watch.

"The terrible writing sinks this one: The lack of an explanation for the living-dead girl is not the problem, but the inconsistency is. She behaves differently in different circumstances according to the writers whims and necessities of the plot, her bites affect women and men differently for no reason, all of the teenagers are despicable weak-willed moral vacuums, the physical state of her body and flesh makes no sense, and the plot devices are contrived."

The central premise in the hands of a good filmmaker could've been an incredible film - as transgressive and smart as the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre - but this is just a wreck. Shoddily filmed (it's one of those ones where everything is zoomed in just a little too much for some half-ass queasy simulation of tension), poorly acted, plodding, and terribly written. Overall, just unforgivably lazy.

Did I like Deadgirl? Not really, no. It was too disturbing and it had actors who, for the most part, I couldn't stand. Did I still think it was a worthwhile viewing experience? Somewhat. Some of its points are incredibly valid, and with disturbing material comes memorability. Do I ever want to watch it again? Absolutely not. Seeing it once, and only once, is an idea that I can get behind.

Quite possibly the stupidest plot I've ever had to endure. The premise is interesting but the execution is downright horrible. I especially hated the conflicted teenager that the audience is supposed to empathise with. Only problem is, every decision he makes is so unbelievably stupid it's impossible to do so. Movie is a waste of time.

Sooooo...this flick has zombie sex. And not the campy silly kind like in "Zombie Strippers". This is a filthy zombie girl chained to a bed and raped a bunch of times. The high school drama stuff framing it all is ridiculous, and nothing about the backstory is ever explained. The movie just hits you over the head with its premise pretty bluntly...again and again. The message: rape is bad. Uh yeah, thanks.

Watched it in parts, couldn't really get into the story. I kept thinking this was an episode of Supernatural, with Rickie looking like Sam, and them both bitching at each other like the show. Interesting story, but not well executed and shitty acting.

Aside from the fact that the acting was poor and the dialogue badly written, the message might have been tolerable (if not cliche) had the writer not used the raping-an-incapacitated-"dead"-woman metaphor. The only gratifying part was the woman getting loose and killing the men who had repeatedly raped her for the duration of the film.

it was somewhat disgustingly compelling. It's an awful plot like in most horror movies these days, but at least it delivers the disgustingness from more than one angle. some inconsistencies left aside, this is horror enough to entertain.

Bad directed, bad acted and the script was just awful. The premise was interesting, but guys using naked lady as a dead meat for sex. Not for my taste. There was just one good gas station scene with voluptuous lady. That was fun. Nothing more.

Bizarre flick about high school outcasts who find a single zombie in a locked room at the bottom of an abandoned mental hospital. The movie stretches credulity more than a few times with some pretty ridiculous dialogue, but the premise was weird enough to hold my interest through its 100-minute runtime.
