      Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com What's impressive about the feature is Dragin's attention to screen style, pushing to create shots and use color in artistic ways, endeavoring to do something cinematic, which is a pleasant change of pace. Rated: B Sep 6, 2021 Full Review Stefan Birgir Stefans sbs.is In general, the film just a few edits from being a "Goosebumps" episode. The bright side is that I like "Goosebumps" episodes, and even though I didn't get what I expected from "Twice Dead," I was entertained by what I got. Rated: 2.5/5 Feb 24, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

      Audience Member It was entertaining but it was full of stupidness. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I Enjoyed This Horror Movie. I Give it A 10 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member This is not a masterpiece, but it has it's fun , midnight movie appeal. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Pretty good movie with a film star ghost and a belligerent gang--Enjoyably silly supernatural horror!! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Decent haunted house film, but could have been much better. Where the film fails is because it lacks anything truly scary, and is more tongue in cheek for most of its run time. The films biggest problem is that it doesn't know what it wants to be. The films plot is all over the place, and it uses all the usual clichés established by previous superior horror films. Twice Dead is mindless fun, but it leaves you wanting more out of the film. The film has some slasher elements thrown in with the supernatural and it doesn't quite succeed. I thought this was a decent film, but it lacked anything truly memorable to make it worth seeing. This film is worth watching only once, and doesn't necessitate multiple viewings. If you're looking for a great haunted house film, you'll be disappointed. Overall a decent film, but the script is so paper thin that it really doesn't do anything truly interesting with its ideas. Director Bert L. Dragin can\'t seem to direct a consistent film where there's some genuine chills on-screen. I liked the film, but felt it could have been much better. As a haunted house film, this one is quite forgettable and doesn't really stand out among others in the genre. The film had potential, but most of the time it ended up falling flat. A decent little tongue in cheek film and nothing more. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Twice Dead came in a Roger Corman DVD 2 pack that I recently received, but it turns out to be the least of the two films... so much for going out with a bang. This was just an odd movie all around, and not in an interesting way. The film spends most of its time being a typical 80's movie where teenagers are terrorized by a... biker gang? Yeah, so anyway, they fight back, but suddenly receive aid from the ghost of a dead actor who's former house they just moved into. And, is it just me, or was the relationship between the brother and sister strange? It seems almost incestual, without anything actually going on. They care just a wee bit too much for each other, and it sticks out. There are a couple of creepy moments and very little in the gore department, but the story is just flat out boring and uninteresting, as is most of the film itself. On the positive side, it does have Brooke Bundy in it. I suppose that has to count for something, right? Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
