My Dead Girlfriend (2006)

Fantastic!

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

I was impressed with the My Dead Girlfriend, it had everything I expected which was to enthrall us with good plot and character development yet with enough "zombie" to make it interesting (and quite funny).I was very impressed by Caitlin Delaney's (Amy) acting ability, she really convinces the audience that she is indeed a zombie. I was convinced the moment she died that she was indeed, no longer with the living.I only give it 8 of 10 because I think there should of been more effort in the scene ambiance lacked a zing and there was clearly a scene or two cut out (the girls going to the beach became an awful lot of people standing around in the woods alone, where one would of expected, well um - girls at the beach).

College English professor Steve (Director Brett Kelly) plans to propose to his occult-loving, vegetarian girlfriend (and one time student) Amy (Caitlin Delaney). So after he accidentally kills her (in a ridiculous way), he chooses to bring her back with the help of the incantation books she conveniently owned to mixed results. They drive to an out of the way cabin in order to wait for her to 'get better'. But when his friends show up to party at the cabin, Steve has to keep them from figuring out that Amy's now a zombie. Fortunately, his friends seem to be as brain dead as Amy is all dead.This silly little low-budget number was extremely stupid, yet I cracked a smile once or twice despite myself. Of the three Brett Kelly films I've seen thus far(the Bonesetter Returns, Final Curtain & The Feral Man), I feel it's safe to say that I enjoyed this one the most by far. Not to say that the film is flawless (it has many MANY of them) just that it had a fun atmosphere to it so I could overlook most of them.My Grade: C- Where i saw it: Instant Netflix viewing

If you're extremely picky about how a film looks, you should know this is an independent movie with a low budget so it's pretty grainy throughout. However, that's just something they couldn't help due to their limitations, unlike Hollywood yet they still produce mostly crap.Now the movie itself though is a hoot 'n holler. The main characters acted by Brett Kelly and Caitlin DeLaney were a surprise to say the least. I started the movie not expecting much except some gore but those two plus an incredibly snappy script made for a very enjoyable movie. I would even say this is more of a comedy than a horror movie since there really isn't that much blood or gore and when they do show some it's a little thing. The rest of the film is mostly just jokes after another though.If you're up for some goofiness check this movie out. You'll enjoy it. And by the way there's something after the credits.

I would really like to know if this mckenzie-c guy had anything to do with the production, because none of the positive attributes he states in his review are in this boring clichéd nonsenical disasterpiece. Technically it's one step up from The Bonesetter, I'll give Brett Kelly that much. But that's hardly a compliment.After accidentally running over his girlfriend Amy with his car bumbling everyman Steve uses an ancient spell to revive her. Stop me if you've heard this plot before(like from "My Boyfriend's Back) but Steve then proceeds to hide Amy's current undead state from his friends and family. Therein lies the only joke,and no one's laughing.Ultimately My Dead Girlfriend is done in by bad writing and the amateurish performances. All the actors were friends of the director no doubt. At least Bonesetter had a more original premise.
