The Civil Dead Ratings & Reviews
Austin Chronicle
Richard Whittaker
At its dead but lively heart, it's an awkward buddy comedy, with real-life friends, collaborators, and co-writers Thomas and Tatum bouncing off each other with a laid-back, laconic yet vulnerable vibe.
Culturess
Cassie Hager
It's got heart, a good number of laughs, and tells the story of a conflict between two old friends that is… complicated.
Dread Central
Drew Tinnin
The Civil Dead takes the bones of a ghost story and spits out a dark indie comedy with a surprisingly sinister twist.
Los Angeles Times
Noel Murray
The movie's premise is clever; but what really makes it work is that these two use this ghost schtick as a way to examine the ways that friendship can be a hassle.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
A low-key different kind of buddy comedy, that's oddly affecting.
Willamette Week
Chance Solem-Pfeifer
Tall premise aside, the film's generative force is the duo's meandering chemistry and the silly way they mumble in support of idiotically jagged haircuts and dance-karate kicks.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Peter Rainer
A sweet little movie that's surprisingly touching.
Rendy Reviews
Rendy Jones
Clay Tatum's The Civil Dead provides a refreshing take on the supernatural buddy comedy formula via a contemporary mumblecore lens.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
The movie's lighting is warm and the soundtrack close to perfect, yet underneath lies a persistent melancholy, a pervasive sense of men not making it in a place where the true terror is loneliness.
Slant Magazine
Steven Nguyen Scaife
Clay Tatum's film is wholly and refreshingly uninterested in tugging at the heartstrings.
48 Hills
Dennis Harvey
This first dual feature can feel a little thin at times over the course of an over-leisurely 104 minutes. But it also has its own singular tone of deadpan cringe comedy, and ideas that it develops in ways not at all formulaic.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
Mildly engaging with a bold premise, but lackluster execution. It's low on enough laughs, bite, wit and campiness.
Sunshine State Cineplex
Alan French
Both Tatum and Whitmer keep the humor directed at themselves, showing they make for a fun comedic team. Their ability to land visual and verbal humor is wildly underrated.
Film Inquiry
Adam Mock
The Civil Dead brings a clever, dark comedic bent to an otherwise well-treaded conceit.
TheIndependentCritic.com
Richard Propes
I'm not sure I realized that the world needed a mumblecore slacker comedy with a thread of horror, but that's exactly what we're getting with The Civil Dead and it's exactly what I needed.
CBR
Jon Mendelsohn
The Civil Dead brings plenty of laughs, and a lot of heart into a delightfully dark comedy.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
Even if it overextends a simple concept, the film evolves into a darkly absurdist buddy comedy with offbeat charm.
Hey, Have You Seen ...?
Jared Mobarak
It can feel a bit long at times, but I don't think the filmmakers ever overextend the joke. It helps that they acknowledge the darker places inherent to the conceit.
Screen Zealots
Louisa Moore
With observational humor and an original screenplay that's perceptive about human nature, this low-budget, slacker ghost story succeeds on many levels.
The Film Stage
C.J. Prince
A grim yet charming slacker comedy whose drive comes from its stubborn insistence on staying low-key.
