Reviews from Letterboxd:

1. c h r i s – ★★★½
   “The final film in Vinegar Syndrome’s second Homegrown Horror set and it’s by far my favorite out of both sets, it’s the 90s version of Bodies, Bodies, Bodies just make it punk and less toxic!”

2. Blake Bergman “Various Spaghetti” – ★★★½
   “Despite a loopy plot and low-budget limitations, director Dennis Devine pulls out the stops to make sure this is an entertaining film.”

3. 13beersl8r – ★★★½
   “Popped in the Vinegar Syndrome Blu-ray of (1990) and got hit with a pre-film warning: ‘audio inherently compromised.’ I’ve seen those disclaimers before, so I shrugged it off—big mistake. The sound’s a rollercoaster, spiking and dipping like a bad mixtape.”

4. PetersMovyNites – ★★★
   “Having no idea what to expect, except super low-budget hijinks, I actually had a good time with this!”

5. basebasebase – ★½
   “Dead Girls is a terrible, terrible film that has some gross viewpoints on people, music, and women in particular.”
