Dead Badge

About This Movie

So, 'Dead Badge' is this odd little gem from '95 that kind of slips under the radar. I mean, it's got that gritty, late-night cable vibe. The premise is wild—this dead cop’s badge supposedly comes back to haunt the new owner, Dan Sampson. The pacing’s a bit uneven, but it really leans into this dark atmosphere of guilt and redemption. The practical effects? Not too shabby for its time, definitely adds to that raw edge. Performances are hit or miss; you can tell some actors are really trying to dig into that tortured cop archetype. It feels like a mix of old-school cop drama and supernatural elements, which makes it stand out a bit in the genre. Worth a watch if you're into that kind of vibe.
