My Dead Girlfriend

About This Movie

So, 'My Dead Girlfriend' is one of those films that revels in its own absurdity. It’s a mix of comedy and horror that doesn’t take itself too seriously, which really works for it. Brett Kelly, who stars and directs, keeps the pace brisk, weaving in dark humor and awkward situations that arise from Steve’s desperate attempt to resurrect Amy. The practical effects used when she’s brought back are definitely a highlight — they have that charming DIY aesthetic that feels authentic. The performances are a bit over-the-top, fitting the bizarre premise, especially Kelly’s own portrayal of the lovably hapless Steve. It’s distinctive in how it marries romance and horror in a way that's more playful than gruesome.
