People Are Dead is this intriguing blend of drama that unfolds in a post-9/11 Manhattan. The vibe is heavy, a mix of existential dread and off-kilter humor. You've got this body-snatcher character played by Mia Tyler, who's going around collecting corpses, and it raises so many questions. The pacing has a kind of methodical crawl that really amplifies the tension. The performances of Eddie Steeples and Peter McNolte as the detectives are solid, each bringing their own take on the absurdity of their situation. There's a rawness to the practical effects that adds to the film’s unsettling atmosphere. It really makes you think about how disconnected we can feel, even when life and death are literally on the streets.
