A disturbing low-budget horror film that doubles as a critique of America's involvement in Vietnam.

Deliberate, uncompromising, and very sad, Bob Clark's quiet masterpiece is still one of the most inspired anti-war genre pics out there.
03/31/05
Grim, tasteless and inexplicably overrated trash.

John Marley imbues the film with the kind of pathos that wears down the defenses of a principally comic filmmaker like Clark

Like the best genre films, Deathdream offers an interesting glimpse of the American psyche during the time it was made.
