DEAD LOVER - IN THEATERS THIS MARCH. Select screenings in GLORIOUS STINK-O-VISION, A PREMIUM SCRATCH AND SNIFF EXPERIENCE.
When a stinky gravedigger’s lover drowns at sea, her attempts to bring him back result in grave consequences and unlikely love.
“A loony, earnestly delirious dark romantic film with a handmade quality.” — RogerEbert.com
For fans of Rocky Horror, Monty Python, Death Becomes Her, Frankenhooker, John Waters and all things stanky. Grace Glowicki’s 16mm riff on Frankenstein is a zany fever dream of lush colors and gender-bending performances by its cast of four, who play multiple characters. Shot on a black box stage with stunning production design, Dead Lover is an experience you’ll never forget.
