Deadgirl

Plot synopsis:
Rickie and J.T. are two high school seniors who gaze at the girls they wish they could get, especially Joann, the object of Rickie's affection, whom he has known since he was a child. One day, they decide to cut class and end up in an abandoned psychiatric hospital. They discover a mute, naked woman in the basement, chained to a table. While J.T. is interested in raping her, Rickie refuses and leaves. J.T. confronts Rickie the next day, and the two return to the basement where J.T. reveals that the woman is undead, which he discovered after attempting to kill her three times.
Rickie finds that J.T. invited their friend Wheeler to rape the woman, nicknamed "Deadgirl", as well, and decides that it is time to free her. He is able to cut the chain on one hand free before he hears J.T. and Wheeler approaching. He runs to hide, and J.T. begins to rape the woman. After he notices that her hand is free, the woman attacks him and scratches his face.
During gym class one day, Rickie asks Joann out on a date, knowing she has a boyfriend. She rejects him, and that afternoon, Joann's boyfriend Johnny and Johnny's friend Dwyer beat up Rickie and Wheeler. Wheeler rebuts that they "have their own pussy now" and don't need to hit on Joann. Johnny throws Rickie and Wheeler in his trunk, and he and Dwyer drive to the asylum to see Deadgirl. Rickie convinces Johnny to force Deadgirl to perform oral sex on him, and Deadgirl instead bites Johnny's penis, infecting him. The next day, Johnny races to the bathroom during class and his intestines burst out of his body, leaving him in the same undead state as Deadgirl.
Having figured out that this is an infectious, rotting disease, J.T. and Wheeler decide it is time to make a new Deadgirl with a fresh body. They lie in wait outside a gas station for a female victim. After an unsuccessful kidnapping and recovering from their beating, Joann shows up to confront them about Johnny. J.T. and Wheeler capture her and take her to the basement. Rickie heads to the basement with a machete to free Deadgirl and finds Joann and Deadgirl tied up to each other, encircled by J.T. and Wheeler. J.T. tries to convince Rickie to let Joann be bitten while Wheeler starts to feel up Joann. Rickie defends her by slicing Wheeler's hand off while Joann unties Deadgirl who feasts on Wheeler, then J.T.
Rickie and Joann flee through a stairwell door but cannot escape through the locked exterior entrance at the top of the stairs. Rickie runs off to find an escape route, and when he returns, Joann is not where he left her. Rickie returns to the basement and finds Deadgirl, who is about to attack him. She runs into him, knocking him down, breaks open the door and escapes to the outside. Rickie then sees Joann, who is about to collapse. He catches Joann as she falls, then sees that J.T. has stabbed her in the back. J.T. urges Rickie to let him bite her so she will live as undead. Rickie holds her for a moment, assuring her that he loves her and will save her. She coughs blood into his face, tells him to grow up, and asks for help. Later, a cleanly dressed Rickie lives normally as he walks outside in the direction of the asylum. There, in the basement, surrounded by soft lights, tied lying in bed wearing clean lingerie, is his Deadgirl, Joann.

Review:
And so is Deadgirl.Basically what you've got here is the story of two disaffected teenage boys who come across a (sort of) dead girl in an abandoned hospital.
Two teenagers JT and Rickie skip school and decide to go to an abandoned mental asylum.They horse around for a while destroying property before exploring the basement.In the cellar our heroes find a girl chained to a table with a plastic bag over her head.They touch her and it is revealed that she is alive.JT decides that they should keep her and use her as a sex slave.The problem is that the woman can't be killed and she is the living dead.First of all I really enjoyed "Deadgirl".The film is quite controversial when it comes to its dark necrophiliac subject matter.There are some moments of gore and violence and seriously twisted climax.The moral ambivalence of the film is actually the most disturbing thing about it.The main performances of Shiloh Fernandez and Noah Segan are very strong and my highest respect goes to Jenny Spain,who spends nearly every scene she is in naked and tormented.Fans of extreme cinema will no doubt enjoy "Deadgirl".7 out of 10..
Unlike typical "horror girls," she evolves into the most profoundly disturbing idea that contemporary horror has given us: a fever dream of narcissistic-sexual pathology, trauma-based-attachment-porn made flesh.Also, the context of the story, an abandoned asylum is rendered abstractly enough that one may read it equally as a metaphor than as simply a place in the real world; an image of the rotting mind where deviance waits - normally it's just a spooky old building when used in horror.The characters enter such a bottomless pit in terms of real human behavior that whether intentional or not, a sense of allegory provides grounding for the audience.
She's undead.Soon, she becomes a sex tool for J.T and his high school friends.The conflict between the two life-long friends simmers the entire movie until it boils over in the end as we reflect on just what it means to be human.Lots and lots of blood and zombie action, not so much sex.
Let me start - Two guys that look like they are pushing 30 are high school students walking through steam tunnels of what one would assume a college, turns out they stumble on a naked zombie girl that wont die.
If you want to see a great and disturbing fun movie watch Bad Taste or Dead alive by Peter Jackson.
While partying in / trashing an old abandoned asylum, two high schoolers (Rickie and JT - Shiloh and Noah) discover something sealed away in the basement: a naked woman strapped to a table who is alive but appears to be brain dead.
It starts out well with good intentions but around half an hour into the movie it just turns into a 'rape-fest' nothing but a movie about teenagers having sex with a dead girl which is the most disturbing movie I have ever seen (and I've seen a few disturbing movies)I don't see how anyone could enjoy such a movie.
The writing may have been a little better to explain some of the pre and post story, but hey, how plausible are 99% of other horror films anyway.Bottom line, if you can stomach it after the first 15 minutes, then this is well worth the time to watch if you are into real horror.
A movie that essentially gives you all the depravity you need to believe the story, but then does not follow through by rewarding your patience and iron-stomach.The film is just not powerful enough to be really art and ends up just being a disturbing visual that leaves you really really wishing for more and then just being upset that the writers just dropped the ball so bad.The film fails hard enough that the ride of the disturbing situations and having to think that any man would do the things in this movie is just not worth it.
The writers do no reward the audience with any substance and spend far too much time on the horrible situation without writing anything in that could say anything other than "man can be horribly, unbelievably evil".I do NOT recommend you watch this movie at all, no matter what you think you're going to get from this, you just won't.
the fact that people view this film and don't feel disturbed by the scenes of teenage boys repeatedly raping a dead girl (because dead girls can't have thoughts or feelings-- objectification anyone?) chained to a bed is sickening to me.
I think the acting was pretty decent for an indie and the whole build up was quite captivating in a sick and twisted kind of way and the film will definitely stay in your mind for a while because of its shocking nature.
It has a lot of things going for it like suspense, twisted humor, some chilling scenes and intriguing ideas but the strong lack of explanation to make any sense of the situation made me disappointed and was a pointless horror lesson in desperation and the dark flaws people can have if placed in that situation.
Initially wearing its indie/art-house origins on its sleeve and getting off to a slightly slow start, DEADGIRL is the story of two high school-age friends, Rickie (Shiloh Fernandez) and JT (Noah Segan), both awkward losers, who, while ditching school, go to the local long-abandoned mental institution to drink warm beers and commit vandalism, and in its deepest tunnels they discover a beautiful naked woman (Jenny Spain), covered in plastic and chained to a medical gurney.
Once the dead girl is no longer a commodity known solely to the two friends, things escalate into incredibly warped territory and offers up what may be the most disturbing coming of age story yet committed to celluloid.Despite its obvious horrific elements, DEADGIRL is at its heart a realistic drama about the fears and disillusionment of adolescence, to say nothing of shedding light on the darker aspects of the young male psyche and how it can run rampant without supervision or guidance, providing a telling allegory about how some young men are raised to view and treat women.
It's all about the having of power or the complete lack thereof, and believe me when I say that it rings all too true.Sick, dark, twisted, and highly morally questionable though it may be, DEADGIRL is an excellent piece of not-afraid-to-go-there cinema, and comes from out of nowhere to stand right next to the original DAWN OF THE DEAD as my favorite zombie movie.
For a horror movie, "Deadgirl" is a rather tame experience, but the story might just actually make it worth a watch, if you haven't already seen it.
In a parallel universe, where a vacationing John Hughes (the definitive chronicler of '80s youth who needs no introduction) happened upon the set of Pier Paolo Pasolini's legendary endurance test "Salo: or the 120 Days of Sodom," the director of such light-yet-crushingly-truthful fare as "Sixteen Candles" and "The Breakfast Club" might have steered his sensibilities toward a script like "Deadgirl." Many of the core Hughes facets remain intact in this tale of two high-school buddies (Shiloh Fernandez and Noah Segan): one seeking the company of a long-lost crush; the other looking to get laid, and both paradoxically fascinated and repulsed by notions of their own sexuality.
The script, by Troma veteran Trent Haaga, is brutally frank and unapologetically profane when it comes to teenage male notions of the opposite sex and all that women entail; when our duo, in the midst of trashing an abandoned mental hospital, stumble upon a nude woman chained to rusted basement piping, their sexual awakening becomes a descent into almost unbearable horror.
(Don't get me wrong, this film HAS blood, sex, and violence, but it's really pretty peripheral to the story.) Just before watching "deadgirl" (yes, that's how it's spelled in the end credits) I watched "End Of The Line." After the stupidity of EOTL, it was actually refreshing to watch an interesting and fairly well-made horror movie.Recommended for those who like horror that's a bit out of the ordinary, but not because of excessive gore..
The main reason is that it is good and bad at the same time: some scenes and ideas are great and others are just stupid - and as a result we have an interesting but greatly unbalanced movie.The movie itself is something between zombie horror and psychological drama.
"Deadgirl" is a brave and extremely sickening tale about two boys, one of whom looks like Robert Pattinson (steady girls) who find a zombie woman in the bowels of an abandoned mental asylum.
Some people have criticised the film over the fact that it just so happens that five high school boys all are rapists, but you'll have to gloss over that fact to watch the film.Just because there isn't much action or gore, don't be lulled in thinking that this film isn't a horror movie.
The film's violence is frequent and brutal, its sexuality (which is based in the idea of zombies as sex slaves) is graphic, repulsive, and omnipresent, and its characters are recognizably real and brilliantly acted.The film begins with the discovery by two social outcast teenage boys of a naked girl who is chained to a table in the basement of an abandoned hospital for the mentally ill.
Watch for the scene in which two middle class jock bullies encounter JT and his zombie sex slave in the abandoned hospital basement; they've beaten up plenty of people in their time, but both of them, even armed with a baseball bat, are scared to death of JT.
I watched it without really knowing anything about it barring a (very) short synopsis on the Horror channel, and it did take me by surprise, I must admit, in a good way though.The film begins by following two rebellious (and incredibly annoying) high school lads, who opt to skip class one day to go and hang out in a disused asylum, getting drunk, smashing things up, and the like.
The acting by and large is good (big hand must go to Jenny Spain, the titular Deadgirl, who spends virtually the entire film being naked and brutalised in some form or another), there are not too many moments of graphic gore but what is there is done well, and the both suggested and visual sexual scenes are quite shocking.
Aldo, you have the second of our duo who is repulsed by what he is seeing, but he doesn't actually do anything about it, short of limply trashing his room in one scene, or constantly going back to the basement to talk to his clearly deranged friend, whereas one call to the police would have solved everyone's problems.That said, I did enjoy the film overall for its originality and its thought provoking nature.
JT quickly becomes obsessed with the dead girl and when other people are brought into it, things take a turn for the worse.A uniquely twisted coming of age story that takes the concept of zombies and the taboo topic of necrophilia to whole new levels, while managing to touch upon numerous underlying topics.
However - delivering more than just a gore-porn horror flick, Deadgirl stuns me as a powerful and disturbing examination of the human psyche.The film revolves around several high school students who found a zombie-like girl and decided to use her to quench their sexual urges.
So, after reading some reviews I gave it a try and I was totally blown away, not because of the horror, but because of its deep and disturbing content.Deadgirl tells the story of two teenage misfits, Rickie (Fernandez) and J.T.
We all know that many zombie films have explicit gore, and Deadgirl is no exception, but in this movie they only show glimpse of gore that only last seconds, but are enough to stay in your mind for days.Final thoughts Deadgirl is new, original, dark and disturbing, but even with that it's not a movie for everyone.
This film reminded me of a movie called "The Girl Next Door" which is based on the true story of Sylvia Likens, where teenage boys abused, raped, and torture her leading to her death.
Just when you thought there was no originality left in cinema, along comes Deadgirl - a film that takes influence from the zombie genre, and manages to craft something new and totally disturbing out of it.
The pair begins to argue and after Rickie leaves, JT decides to act out his sick desires on the seemingly lifeless girl.It has to be said that Deadgirl is not a film for the weak stomached as the main themes of the story are completely sick and twisted, and the film has the ability to keep on shocking the further it gets into the horrific plot.
but what does happen is still seriously twisted and sees JT pimping out his zombie sex slave to stoner pal Wheeler (Eric Podnar), convincing jock bullies Johnny (Andrew DiPalma) and Dwyer (Nolan Gerard Funk) to double-team the dead girl, and ultimately help his best bud to realise his dreams and finally get together with first love Joann (the gorgeous Candice Accola).Of course, Deadgirl requires suspension of disbelief above and beyond that of simply accepting the notion of a living dead woman: the viewer is also expected to believe that virtually all teenage boys would jump at the opportunity to gang-bang a zombie 'babe', despite the obvious health risks and the sticky issue of sloppy seconds, thirds, fourths etc..
Lovely!If you're bored of zombie films offering the same-old siege set-up and want to see the subject treated in a refreshingly different manner, or you simply want to watch teenage perverts boffing a stiff, I highly recommend Deadgirl—it's dead good!.
Anyways this movie is about 2 boys finding a zombie girl in a mental hospital and one of them have big ambitions with the dead girl and want to use it as a sex slave.
Luckily, 'Dead Girl' was actually a real surprise.The film centers around a group of high school stoners (Ricki, JT and 'Wheeler') who skip school to get drunk in an abandoned mental hospital and come across a girl in the basement who is chained to a table.
The horror movie; 'Deadgirl' is a highly provocative and disturbing film about two teenagers who find a girl chained up in the basement of an abandoned asylum.
I can't exactly say that I liked the movie, but I was disturbed by It, and I think that is the intention of the people who made the film.
There's something wrong with this woman, so wrong that you might not even consider her a human (and I don't think you're Intended to) but this discovery reveals a terrifying nature about J.T., and some of the other high school students that will leave Rickie and you shaking.The set up is an original take on a zombie film, setting the dead girl more as a victim than a threat and setting up a conflict that both the characters and the audiences will have to confront: just because it looks and used to be human does that mean that it is one?
J.T tells Rickie the next day when they return to the basement where J.T. reveals that the woman is already dead.I did not like the first half of this movie at all, it just went on far too long for me but the second half of the movie got a little more interesting and little bit more gory (which I really liked)I could not help but laugh at Toilet scene (3x lol ) for some reason I found that scene really funny I did not care about of the people in this movie at all, I wish all of them were killed.The ending of movie as they try to make you feel sorry for them as I hated almost everyone in the movie that sad ending did not work for me at all!5 out of 10 (This movie was recommend to me 12 times!
I bought this movie from my cable TV company, it didn't give too much info about the story line other than it was a zombie found in a building by two teenage boys.I like horrors but I see them as fantasy so they doesn't disturb me.
To get into this movie you have to believe:1)that there are NO authoritative figures ANYWHERE 2)when presented with a dead{zombie} girl, the first instinct is sex 3)everyone has the IQ of peanut butter 4)"saving" somebody in the most complicated way is heroic 5)watching as someone is raped/beaten/shot/stabbed while doing nothing is heroic 6)that anyone can seriously get it up for this zombie, especially at the drop of a hat {and commonly in front of each other} 7)morality doesn't exist 8)that people just turn into monsters for NO reason, at allDid i mention they don't even bother to explain anything?
Horror films, at their best, provide some fun scares, and a chilling moment or two, but bottom line: "It's a zombie girl getting raped for two hours." So if that sounds like a fun time for you, have at it.
A very interesting premise whose potential unfortunately meant nothing to the imbeciles who wrote and directed this.The idea of a dead/undead zombie-like woman (not girl) being found in a run-down abandoned old building could have been turned into an excellent horror film.
Last night I watched what on the front end looked like a perfectly good horror movie.
Overall, this is a movie that's only classed as horror for the kind-of dead/zombie girl.
Why then did we need a film where guys think it's OK to rape a zombie woman?
I love a good horror flick with dead people chasing you and some bloody gore (you know entertainment) but this was a filthy, gross movie (Luckily I only watched part of it).
And story ends in the manner that now good guy made his crush, a dead-girl, as his sex slave.It's not worth watching this movie.
