Editorial Reviews

Where the Dead Go To Die"" revolves around a troubled group of children living on the same block. They are haunted by a talking dog named Labby who brings them on surreal hell-rides between different dimensions and time periods. On the night of a lunar eclipse he informs Tommy about the devil fetus living inside his mother. The same night he attempts to help Ralph court the girl across the street, who is an unwilling participant in her father's child porn tape trading ring. Add in a memory stealing junkie living inside an abandoned church and you have 90 minutes of pure mind melting insanity!

5.0 out of 5 stars Where do I begin?? March 23, 2012

By C. Bennett

Format:DVD

I'm going to start off this review by saying I don't really care for animation.

Yes, I said it. With the exception of a few of the films I grew up with, animated films do not interest me.

So with that said, a film like Where the Dead Go To Die would typically go totally unnoticed by me, which is a real pity because it's depressingly wonderful. It's surreal, violent, and at times outrageous. When it first started the look of the animation got to me. It's very primitive(think ReBoot.) However as the film progressed I realized the look of the animation fit the tone perfectly...Some of the images presented in this movie are completely deranged, the fact that it's looks like a kids movie is completely jarring.

I'm not going to go into too much detail about the film as I think it's best to go in knowing as little as possible, but I will tell you this...There is a talking dog who is interdimensional. A group of troubled kids. Enough bestiality, murder, and all around violent material to offend the most seasoned gorehound. Did I mention the talking dog? He likes to convince children their unborn brother is the Anti-Christ. I couldn't make this stuff up, I'm not that imaginative, so my only advice is to run out and pick this one up!

Onto the disc itself. Unearthed did a great job with this title. The film looks and sounds great (there's also a blu-ray available) It is presented in anamorphic widescreen with 5.1 sound, some of the extras include..

-Commentary with the director
-Deleted scenes
-featurettes
-A Short
-Trailers

Unearthed Tends to put a lot of work into their releases and this one is no different!

I mentioned earlier, going into this movie I was not a fan of animation...Now I realize there are some stories that are completely suited for this medium. There's no way they could have pulled this off using actors. Congratulations Jimmy Screamerclauz, you've successfully changed this stubborn man's opinion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Where The Dead Go To Die May 11, 2012

By Samuel Risenhoover

Format:DVD

What a trip! It took me about 6 months after initially reading about this entry into the genre to fully muster the ambition and set some time aside to watch this piece... solely due to the face of its own obscurity. I really haven't heard anything about this piece anywhere else besides here on Amazon. Normally, when I read 5-10 reviews of a product and all give it 5 stars, it immediately sends up a red flag that the product has been reviewed only by its own bennefactors. However, luckily, after viewing WTDGTD, I can say that this is no scam. This is sheer depravity. For those of whom are always seeking the most jarring experience available... I would suggest purchasing this piece. However, I would like to also add (no matter how cliche it sounds.) that this is not for the squeamish. In fact %95 of those whom consider themselves to be seasoned, highly tolerant horror fans will find this much to ambiguous of a storyline and much too disturbing to suffer through none the less. For the other %5 including myself, this is something to truly revel in. I have not seen this much disregard for political correctness and such twisted creativity in a long time... enjoy if you can!

5.0 out of 5 stars MOVIE OF THE YEAR - 2012 October 4, 2012

By C. Fjerstad

Format:Blu-ray

First I just want to say, I cannot believe how many people take the time to purchase or watch this film and they can't determine whether or not they are going to love or hate it before doing so. Just upon seeing the trailer, I knew it would likely be a disturbing one-of-a-kind experience that just might take things to a level of darkness I hadn't been to before - and it was exactly that. Who are these people complaining about horrible animation and a horrible story - did you NOT NOTICE the style of animation before you PURCHASED the movie? Did you not READ the synopsis before you purchased it? How do you not understand that the BUTCHERED style of animation goes perfectly in accompanying the BUTCHERED atmosphere, portraying the BRILLIANTLY INNOVATIVE (not terrible) plot concepts dealing with a BUTCHERED psyche. Hint to people who gave this one star: get better at knowing yourself. Get better at knowing what's for you, and what's not. This movie is a sheer masterpiece of it's own kind, I have never seen anything like it. It's perfect for what it is. For me personally, it is my FAVORITE FILM of 2012 thus far.

This is what the Silent Hill film should have felt like. Perhaps not with such over-the-top, disturbing content and subject matter - but the atmosphere and creativity of this film is 100% dead on - couldn't possibly be more shocking, discomforting, confusing, or eerie. It just reminds me of the very first time I played the first couple of Silent Hill games - that's why I was talking about the film as well. Not many things that exist match this level of creative darkness.

The actual subject matter truly takes it to the next level in a few areas as well - we'll just say brutal gore and sexual scenarios involving people who should not be in sexual scenarios with each other. That is the aspect that reminded me of Gummo and other similar films by similar filmmakers such as Harmony Korine or Larry Clark. Couldn't get much more offensive or disturbing.

Now, one of the only flaws in the entire movie is a few of the voice actors are a little hard to deal with - but that's not enough to even force me to give it a 9 instead of a 10. This is a one-of-a-kind experience, and it's surreal - bad voice acting just adds to the absurdity of it.

The concepts are extremely innovative and thought provoking - offering perspectives you most likely would not have thought of before involving God, death, and .... well, the damaged psyche.

I would never recommend this to anyone - but, if you're looking for trouble, you will find it here.

Props mr. ScreamerClauz .... (that name... are you serious?)
