i cannot recommend this movie to people enough. i
constantly tell people in person that they have to see this
movie. you have to watch this movie. i want you to see this
movie. if you have not seen dead leaves then you have to see
it. dead leaves is the best thing i have ever watched and i
am concerned that some of you have not seen it

IMDB

I happened to find this movie by accident doing a search on
the German shocker "Nekromantik" on ebay. The storyline
sounded interesting enough with elements of "Nekromantik"
and "Buio Omega" and other sick, twisted films. As far as I
am concerned, this movie was boring, zero atmosphere, decent
acting, and way to artsy.

The movie plays very slowly and is only a 70 minute film.
Nonetheless, it feels like 2 hours. The story goes nowhere
and leads up to a conclusion that I could have guessed even
before the opening credits rolled through. The acting was
decent, but the actors weren't given many lines to work
with. The music was sometimes good with opera here and there
but then they would through in some terrible alternative
rock music that just makes you want to gag and takes away
from the movie. The one thing the movie had going for it was
all the poetic narration. It added something original to the
movie, but other than that, very disappointing. 4/10

that opinion is OK. at least he saw the movie. if you have
not seen the movie then how can you have an opinion on it?
you must see Dead Leaves.

i finally watched this a couple weeks ago from your
recommendation and i have to say it fucking rocked. my
friend and i simply sat in the dark, baked out of our minds,
unable to say anything for the 50 minutes of madness that
ensued. it doesn't matter that you really have no idea what
is going on in the plot, the pure audio-visual assault is
all that is required to enjoy the film.

movie. it really is a problem that some people have not seen
dead leaves.

you'd be surprised (or maybe not) at how many people i had
to try the trailer on before i even found someone who would
be willing to watch the whole thing with me.
