Dead Times

About This Movie

Dead Times, released in 2020, brings an unusual blend of comedy and mystery that really tugs at the edges of the absurd. You have this widow, right? She finds two tombs for her late husband, which sets off a chain of events that’s both quirky and oddly poignant. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, but it adds to the charm, creating a sense of discovery. The characters—a clever professor and these eccentric gravediggers—are refreshingly out of the ordinary, almost like they stepped out of a forgotten era. What stands out is how the film plays with themes of memory and loss, wrapped in a light-hearted tone that somehow feels genuine. The practical effects are minimal but effective, grounding the film in a reality that resonates. It's a distinctive piece, for sure.
