The cast & crew writers and director must be fans of peter Jackson's early stuff but also his breakout movie the frighteners.... it's flaws are indie movie flaws and nothing more.... it's a good time and will warm your heart!

...then the entire movie ended up being. It kind of ended up being drawn out and not funny and a little too wacky. If the movie would have stuck with its humorous beginning and stayed like that throughout it would have been a much better watch.

A watchable mystery that tends to drag but is well acted, most of the time. Some guy can see dead guys and while helping a dead cop uncover who killed him he encounters some strange people and some weird stuff happens. Yes, the comedy is a bit flat but it does keep it light. More a TV movie really.

A little bit Hot Fuzz, a little bit Frighteners, a little bit its own thing. Amusing. Relied far more on story than effects, which is what often makes low budget movies superior.

And the mid-credit scene was just sweet, and a good resolution.

Just felt... wrong somehow. While the storyline was actually quite good, I felt the characters really weren't up to the task. He was hardly a "Stoner" - just didn't look or feel the part... Sorry really wanted to like it but....

Don't ya just love a stoner comedy with a heart? Yeah. It's a thing. Perhaps "Pineapple Express" or "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" sparks a synapse?

"Death" is an indie tripper out of New Zealand about "Marbles", a pothead with a predilection to talk to ghosts (Thomas Sainsbury in an hilariously touching performance). Leave it to those kooky Kiwis to smash up smokin' j's, séances and serial killing jags into one sensationally silly saga with a serious side.

And the cop never puts on pants.

Okish. not bad. low budget. ok direction. nice effort. thanks.

I don't know if it's just the movies I've seen, or if Australian comedies are just a very particular type of comedy, that I don't completely get. The verbal delivery of every character is so cartoony and reminiscent of marionette shows. It's overly melodramatic and not credible as human beings speaking to one another. So the overwhelming majority of the comedy was always a little bit difficult for me to get into. Having said that there is one situational joke that I found hysterical that occurs outside a club. Without spoiling anything, I can say that when a character delivers the line "say no to that," was the absolute best part of the film for me. But every other scripted joke, or jokey banter between characters was cringy and forced, to me. There are also many jokes, premises and themes very significant to the story that revolve around what I can only assume is the filmmakers' attempt to be LGBTQ-friendly. Those were incredibly disappointing in their execution. I believe that this is the type of help-attempt that the LGBTQ community would say "thanks but no thanks" to. Having said that, the overall premise/storyline is cute. The pacing is good, as the movie doesn't spend too much time on unnecessary "universe building." We arrive right away in a world where we have to accept that a goof-ball stoner can see dead people, and one of them needs his help. Everything that ensues after that is silly and cute. Worth a watch, just for that exchange outside the club.

Wasn't expecting to enjoy this film as much as I did! Had a few laugh out loud moments with an interesting storyline. Good Friday night watch for sure.

I was sort of expecting that the 2020 movie "Dead" might be to the ghost genre what "Shaun of the Dead" was to the zombie genre, "Lesbian Vampire Killers" was to the vampire genre and what "Alien Addiction" was to the alien genre.

Alas, it turned out that "Dead" from writers Thomas Sainsbury and Hayden J. Weal didn't turn out to be exactly that. The movie started out adequately, but the air quickly ran out of the balloon, and the movie quickly became stale and monotonous. In fact, it became such a drag to sit through that I just gave up 1 hour into the ordeal.

The acting in "Dead" was adequate, but it was a real shame that the atrocious execution of the storyline and the dialogue was holding the actors and actresses back from putting on stellar performances. It was nice, however, to see all these new and unfamiliar faces and talents on the screen though.

I found "Dead" to be a disappointing movie, and it is by no means a movie that I will recommend that you sit down to watch. I was entertained at the beginning of the movie, but the enjoyment quickly vanished as the movie rambled on and on in a very monotonous manner, and it was essentially a storyline and characters that I ended up not caring for, given the writing of the movie.

It should be said, though, that the concept idea of the movie was interesting and there definitely was a lot of potential there. But it was brutally slaughtered at the hands of writers Thomas Sainsbury and Hayden J. Weal.

My rating of "Dead" settles on a generous three out of ten stars. This is not a particularly entertaining or memorable movie. And I can honestly say that I will not be returning to finish watching the rest of the movie.

When I started off watching this I underestimated it greatly. The movie itself was very well made and while it may not appeal to some, I'd definitely recommend this to someone who's just bored and needs to pass time. But still. It was pretty good.

Ironically a film full of life! Wonderful performances and a beautiful score.

I thought this movie was very good! I loved Marbles and he was the one who truly brought life to this story. Anything I see him in later on down the line should be a treat. So it felt like a low budget movie. They stuck with the good story and made it believable. I did not feel like I wasted my time at all with this movie. The ending also just made you feel good all the way around. I recommend seeing it for yourself though.
