The Dead Should Stay Dead

About This Movie

So, 'The Dead Should Stay Dead' kinda caught me off guard. It's a drama, but not in the traditional sense. The story follows this young boy who thinks he’s just going on a simple date, only to discover that his companion has darker intentions. The pacing is a bit slow at times, but it builds a heavy atmosphere—there's a creeping sense of dread that hangs over the whole thing. The performances are pretty solid; you can really feel the tension in those quiet moments. What stood out was the practical effects. They didn't go overboard, which I appreciate. It’s all about the psychological horror, and the way it plays with trust and betrayal adds a nice layer to the narrative. Definitely a unique watch for those looking for something different.
