Deadgirl is a horror sleeper; an underseen entry in the zombie/undead subgenre that’s strikingly original and emotionally dreadful. Deadgirl enjoyed its world premiere at TIFF on this day in 2008; it got a limited theatrical release in July 2009.
If you’ve never experienced this subversive and devestating coming-of-age saga, check out the trailer and synopsis below.
Synopsis:
Two high school boys discover an imprisoned woman in an abandoned mental asylum who cannot die.
Deadgirl was co-directed by Marcel Sarmiento and Gadi Harel from a screenplay penned by Trent Haaga; the film stars Shiloh Fernandez, Noah Segan, Candice King, and Jenny Spain as the titular “dead girl”.
Trivia:
Noah Segan won the 2009 Fright Meter Award for Best Actor for his performance in DeadGirl. (Source)
