My Thoughts on Dead Dead Full Dead

You know that Dead Dead Full Dead is a film that isn’t supposed to be taken too seriously when an early scene involves a newly-murdered Era in an afterlife waiting room being interviewed by the Devil. The many surreal aspects of this whodunnit are attributed to once in 10,000 years eclipse that is occurring that night. Ultimately, Dead Dead Full Dead is an immensely quirky film that turns the typical whodunnit narrative on its head.
