Digging graves for a living, a quick-witted woman (writer-director Grace Glowicki) can’t find love due to smelling quite rancid. But when she finally meets a man (co-writer Ben Petrie) who’s attracted to her funky scent, sparks fly. Unfortunately, soon after they hit it off, he dies, leaving her no choice but to turn to science to bring him back to life. That reanimation setup may sound familiar, but, trust us, Glowicki’s singular horror-comedy DEAD LOVER is anything but familiar, employing chiaroscuro-inspired visuals, 16mm photography and handmade set designs to create an incomparable and demented fever dream. —Matt Barone
