- The movie also finds the right balance of light and dark for the material. Too dark and people would be depressed and disgusted by what’s on the screen, too light and it would have no effect. Deadgirl gets it just right. No small feat if you think about it.
- 40VarietyVarietyArriving on the heels of America's torture-porn wave, Deadgirl takes a disturbing adolescent male fantasy and glosses it up just enough to pass for a legitimate horror movie.
- 40SalonAndrew O'HehirSalonAndrew O'HehirThis film's dithering, handsome, morally ambivalent Hamlet, is a profoundly unsatisfactory character.
- 30The Hollywood ReporterThe Hollywood ReporterIt's getting increasingly difficult to avoid films as bereft of redeeming qualities as Deadgirl, an exploitation-horror hybrid best left to torture-porn fanboys and academics seeking to dissect the outer reaches of the contemporary young-male mindset.
- 20Village VoiceVillage VoiceHas more fantastically blunt, clunky, and downright laughable teen-sex dialogue per minute than anything this side of Larry Clark.
