While not entirely flawless in its execution, Taccone’s Over Your Dead Body is a thrilling and hilarious horror movie that delivers plenty of plot twists and gruesome wounds. Go to Full Review Zachary Lee TheWrap Mar 19
Taccone and his team have managed to take the existential and interior strife common in a marriage and transfigure it into a riotous and convivial physical battle for survival and sanity. Go to Full Review Dex Wesley Parra Austin Chronicle Mar 18
In its best stretches a rip-roaring thriller comedy with satisfying savagery, Over Your Dead Body is ultimately undone by the flat script. Go to Full Review Fred Topel United Press International 40m
Over Your Dead Body is very mixed but it is trying daring things. In between misses and woefully misguided threads, occasionally it lands on some clever macabre violence. Go to Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru 13h
An uninspired, asinine, tonally uneven dark comedy that's more gory and consistently mean-spirited than funny. Go to Full Review Aaron Neuwirth We Live Entertainment 2d
6/10
There is enough to laugh along with, let alone root for and consider, as we see tables being turned in different manners throughout the feature. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
