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.

I like Jason Segel and Samara Weaving together, but it runs out of steam the darker and heavier it gets.

The inherent nastiness of Over Your Dead Body will likely keep it from being anything but another cultish object in Taccone’s interesting career. But its highest highs come from slipping good old-fashioned physical farce into an action-heavy package.

1/4

About the only spark generated by “Over Your Dead Body” is the running joke about Lisa’s skills as an actor.

Imagine a romantic comedy filtered through the adrenaline and quirk of the "Zed’s dead" sequence in "Pulp Fiction." It’s offbeat, stylish and memorable as filmmaker Jorma Taccone brings the heat.

2/5

Director Jorma Taccone's darkly comic thriller starts strong, with an intriguing premise and two talented comedic actors, but it falters once it devolves into a gore-fest.

a wacky, unhinged, hilarious, merciless massacre that will have you howling in the aisles if you have a sick sense of humor.

Fun murder-fueled grotesquerie that'll fix any broken marriage. If you think your marriage is on the ropes, I would definitely make this a date night screening

Enjoyable and entertaining. Ends up being predictable but the first half was good. Worth a watch.

This is becoming the year of Samara Weaving. You got Ready or Not 2, this and Carolina Caroline. I’m kinda for it. Jason Siegel and her are funny together. It’s a pretty good comedy. The dark comedy is kind of having a quiet run. Like the full on comedy is sort of dead but dark comedy we are cooking. If I had to gripe about this its the third act is long. Takes too long wrap up. It’s a good ending tho. I did think he was going to go out the way Timothy Olyphant’s character thought the main character in Siegel’s character movie should have gone out. (Trying to not spoil anything). It was nice touch.

Very dark. The actors were tremendously skilled. However, when the male lead actor was stretched out over a table face down in preparation of being raped by an escaped convict, I left. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY OR YOUR TIME!!!
