Director Karen Moncrieff has created short vignettes to show how one murder can affect a plethora of people both related and unrelated to the victim, in her chilling feature, The Dead Girl. The film unfolds with quiet repose, like a series of photographs, as the viewer learns from various points of view how Krista (Brittany Murphy) was murdered, and by whom. Opening with the most disparately related segments, the viewer meets Arden (Toni Colette), slave to her abusive mother (Piper Laurie). Arden, full of hatred that manifests as self-mutilation, is equally scarred by her discovery of Krista's body. Next, we witness Krista's grad-student sister, who, with her knowledge of forensics, combs cadavers for physical clues to find her missing sister's body. The second half of the film is more affecting, with better pacing and more pointed plot, since one sees the motivations behind the serial killer's crime, and later, Krista's mother's devotion to solving the mystery. As the victim's mother meets Krista's old friend, Ashley, and discovers the she left a daughter behind as legacy, there is a sense of rebirth that feels satisfyingly redemptive. The Dead Girl's cinematography reinforces the pervading melancholy so completely that the film itself begins to symbolically represent Krista's dead body. --Trinie Dalton

The Dead Girl is a one of a kind movie that slowly lets you in and then gives the viewer the "psychic" ability to know what the tragic ending will bring to the characters. Great performances by Toni Collette,Mary Beth Hurt,Marcia Gay Harden and Brittany Murphy.

This movie is definitely not for everyone. It presents a dark, disturbing reality that left me moved and haunted for several days. The movie is so well made, though, in just about every theatrical aspect, that I have to rate it highly. I usually don't care for a movie that is presented in segments or chapters, but this movie's form of storytelling is masterfully accomplished at the hands of its director. Acting performances are outstanding. I walked away with both a lot of emotions and a lot ... Read More

This movie is horrible. I don't even see the point in making it.
You can describe the entire movie (and I do mean ENTIRE) in a paragraph or two.
---------Spoilers------------sorry
The Dead Girl is a very strange movie and I hated it. It is a movie about different people and how all of their lives are somehow interconnected. A girl is murdered and a woman finds her in the back yard, then she gets in a fight with her mother, goes off and meets a random guy and ... Read More

Awsome cast. This movie will stay with you long after its over. Murphy and Brolin are both great in this. I had to spring for the collectors version!

THE DEAD GIRL is an interesting new take on an exhausted genre. Since THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS nearly 20 years ago, we have been bombarded with the serial killer in film over and over. Sometimes something good like SEVEN comes along, but most of the time its by-the-book blood and mayhem that only gives a lame story a convenient excuse. Oh, it's a serial killer.
In this movie, we travel back and forth in time to see how one really messed-up girl's murder affects friends, family and ... Read More
