Deadtectives - SIFF 2019 Capsule Review

The Movie: Deadtectives

The Director: Tony West

The Cast: Chris Geere, Martha Higareda, Tina Ivlev, David Newman, José María de Tavira

The Story: Fake paranormal investigators run into real paranormal activity.

The Review:
What a debut feature for writer/director Tony Smith! This movie is so much fun and, while the focus is on the non stop barrage of comedic hi-jinks, there are several genuine scares thrown in to keep you on the edge of your seat. This may look like a Ghostbusters knockoff but the Deadtectives hold their own with a super fun, fast paced, and irresistibly creative origin story.


Deadtectives is an official selection of the 2019 Seattle International Film Festival.
