Comments: Deadgirl was certainly one of the more interesting films I've seen in awhile, and it's also one of most well-made too. The story centers on two high school outcasts that find a girl tied up in an abandoned mental institution. The one sees this as an opportunity to have a "play toy," while the other has more than a few reservations. While Deadgirl is categorized as a horror film, it's mostly a drama until the final 10 minutes or so. It also has a very indie feel, with the music and camerawork resembling many independent features. Deadgirl has such underlying sadness that really works well with the sick and twisted nature of the film. While Deadgirl is definitely not a film for everyone, it is both intriguing and well-made. I definitely recommend it to those looking for something a little outside of the box.
