Critics Consensus

With Hitchcockian flair, inventive gore, and electric performances, Over Your Dead Body blends tense thrills and playful twists into a satisfying, if occasionally conventional, ride.

The forecast calls for grim. Also, very funny. Rather bloody, too, thanks to director Jorma Taccone’s extreme take on the gore-as-entertainment genre, although the entire project is elevated by the cast and the writing.

2/5

A stellar cast, a few laughs and some stylish filmmaking can’t quite make up for Over Your Dead Body’s lack of dimension and off-putting tone.

2/5

Steered by ex-sketch comics, including Jorma Taccone of The Lonely Island/Saturday Night Live and comedy duo BriTANicK, it’s a little too unrefined, with some dead-on-arrival scenes that throw you out of the fun.

Ho can you resist Juliette Lewis and Timothy Olyphant at their most unhinged?

Struggles a little with its own identity. It probably would have benefitted pushing harder toward comedy or harder toward horror instead of settling into a space where it never quite defines itself, but still I was entertained.

3/5

Perhaps the movie’s secret weapon is that you’re rooting for everyone to get offed in imaginatively icky circumstances, including the leads, but that’s a bit more credit than I’m willing to give it.
