The premise
When high school misfits Rickie and JT decide to ditch school and find themselves lost in the crumbling facility of a nearby abandoned hospital, they come face-to-face with a gruesome discovery: a body of a woman stripped naked, chained to a table and covered in plastic and soon realize she is anything but dead. Quickly the boys find themselves embarking on a twisted yet poignant journey testing the limits of their friendship, and forces both to decide just how far they're willing to stretch their understanding of right and wrong.
Horror Vault's take
Two alienated high school outcasts stumble upon something impossible hidden deep inside an abandoned psychiatric hospital — a discovery that will fracture their friendship and force each of them down a path they can never walk back from. Deadgirl is a deeply provocative horror film that uses the genre's darkest extremes to dissect the ugliest impulses lurking beneath adolescent masculinity. Confronting and deliberately uncomfortable, it is less interested in scaring you than in making you question what you're watching and why. This is genre filmmaking as moral provocation.
