With every cruelly hilarious joke and delightfully gnarly injury, Over Your Dead Body goes for the jugular—which is ironic given that this is perhaps the only wound we don’t see inflicted in its 105 minutes of blithely black-hearted brutality. Go to Full Review Christy Lemire FilmWeek (LAist) May 6
I like Jason Segel and Samara Weaving together, but it runs out of steam the darker and heavier it gets. Go to Full Review David Sims The Atlantic Apr 28
The inherent nastiness of Over Your Dead Body will likely keep it from being anything but another cultish object in Taccone’s interesting career. But its highest highs come from slipping good old-fashioned physical farce into an action-heavy package. Go to Full Review Preston Barta Dallas Observer May 6
Imagine a romantic comedy filtered through the adrenaline and quirk of the "Zed’s dead" sequence in "Pulp Fiction." It’s offbeat, stylish and memorable as filmmaker Jorma Taccone brings the heat. Go to Full Review Sandie Angulo Chen Common Sense Media May 5
2/5
Director Jorma Taccone's darkly comic thriller starts strong, with an intriguing premise and two talented comedic actors, but it falters once it devolves into a gore-fest. Go to Full Review Sarah Vincent Sarah G Vincent Views May 3
a wacky, unhinged, hilarious, merciless massacre that will have you howling in the aisles if you have a sick sense of humor. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Pamila May 18 Took a while to get into, none of the characters were the kind you'd root for. See more Shannon J May 18 I had a blast with this one definitely recommend. See more Syris May 14 Such a fun movie! Loved it! See more Maurice May 9 Fun murder-fueled grotesquerie that'll fix any broken marriage. If you think your marriage is on the ropes, I would definitely make this a date night screening See more Mr Hollywood May 8 Enjoyable and entertaining. Ends up being predictable but the first half was good. Worth a watch. See more Jess May 7 hilarious, horrible, and over-the-top at every other turn - a "must watch" for horror fans and comedy fans alike! See more Read all reviews
