Dead Mail Ratings & Reviews
Bloody Disgusting
Meagan Navarro
A reinvention of the '80s aesthetic, a deft genre blend, and intimate empathy afforded to all of its unique characters make this retro form experiment a fascinating watch.
Cinapse
Dan Tabor
Dead Mail is a rather impressive period piece in both tone and execution.That paired with a gripping script and a fictional story that feels ripped from a viral Netflix doc, makes Dead Mail definitely worth hunting down after its finished its festival run
AIPT
Nathaniel Muir
Initially, it seems like it is going to be a mystery, before turning into a thriller about obsession. The final act returns to unraveling clues, but there is a different atmosphere due the revelations over the course of the film.
Elements of Madness
Douglas Davidson
"Dead Mail" is a risk, to a degree, for how it operates unexpectedly within the confines of horror/thriller, but it's the way it delivers that makes it memorable and deserving of exploration.
Film Threat
Bobby LePire
Dead Mail is a riveting thriller from start to end. DeBoer and McConaghy manage to authentically capture the period setting both in the production design and filmmaking style.
Eye for Film
Jennie Kermode
Everything here looks grimy, as if the film itself had been lying around in poor conditions for years, and colours and patterns are artfully mismatched.
Rue Morgue Magazine
Michael Gingold
Part of the fun of DEAD MAIL, after the intense introductory bit and a shocking development about a half hour in, lies in watching the story unfold, surprising us and keeping us in suspense as it lays out its puzzle pieces and snaps them into place.
Dread Central
Mary Beth McAndrews
'Dead Mail' takes contemporary ideas about the 1980s and nostalgia and twist them into a neo-Fargo narrative about being in the wrong place and the wrong time, small-town violence, and trying to just find a friend.
The Film Stage
John Fink
Dead Mail marries the aesthetic of a cold institutional documentary with a slasher flick and, in its best moments, is one of the most exciting horror films of the year.
Sunshine State Cineplex
Alan French
It's hard to ignore this charming tale of kidnapping and death. By the end, you'll see a vision of human darkness with few peers.
The Blogging Banshee
Molly Henery
Dead Mail is a textural 80's throwback that gives an intimate, even empathetic view of the drastic measures one man will take to avoid loneliness.
Film Focus Online
Rebecca Johnson
An utterly unique affair boasting great visuals and sound design, terrific performances and thorough exploration into its main theme, Dead Mail is an interesting new release that's worth a viewing.
In Review Online
Chris Cassingham
An expectedly thrilling, and unexpectedly moving, ode to public servants.
Screen Slate
Elissa Suh
Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy's tactile, lo-fi thriller weaves disarming melancholy into this Misery-framework, infusing unwarranted empathy.
Screen Zealots
Louisa Moore
An intriguingly offbeat thriller that feels like it was unearthed from the depths of the 1980s, complete with a synthesizer-heavy score and a distinctly retro aesthetic.
Horror Press
Sharai Bohannon
They seemingly set out to create a dead letter investigator and maybe show that they are heavily influenced by the work of the Coen brothers.
Not That Rob Thomas (Substack)
Rob Thomas
Audacious in its narrative structure, thrilling in its execution of shocks, and unexpectedly poignant in its rich characterizations, it's a gangbusters debut.
