DEAD LOVER
Preceded by the short film: IN LIEU OF FLOWERS
DEAD LOVER is a horny, hilarious, and unhinged Frankensteinian romance about grief, devotion, and going way too far for love. The sophomore film from actor-director Grace Flowicki features Ben Petrie (HONEY BUNCH, CIFF 2025), Leah Doz, and Lowen Morrow in a variety of roles mimicking the style of great romps such as Monty Python and DR. STRANGELOVE.
A lonely gravedigger who reeks of death (Grace Glowicki, HONEY BUNCH, CIFF 2025) finally meets the man of her dreams, only to lose him to the ocean. Devastated by this great loss, she turns to wild science to bring back her dead lover.
