All the positive reviews are right.... Its a winner.

Dead And Gone may not be popular with teens who gobble up horror flicks through free downloads and want to see a lot of gore and sex.

It has black comedy well blended in the horror. Its exceptionally well directed, cleverly written, with an inspired use of light and color and big budget special effects.

The film is unexpectedly beautiful to look at. And Yossi Sasson creates a unique pacing of syncopated shocks that are really frightening.

The acting is good and the leads are hot looking. Kyle Gass is hilarious as a TV minister. And Robert Herrick plays this giant gay hillbilly. I wont say what it is, but the scene where stuff is oozing out of his mouth is totally gross and laugh out loud funny.

The script was written by Harry Shannon, who is a cult horror author for a good reason. I'm a big fan of his books and he didn't disappoint me.

This movie is for a more mature audience, no matter what their age. There is a lot of character development and a real plot. No teens screaming for an hour.

I recommend it.
