‘Over Your Dead Body’ Review: Jason Segel & Samara Weaving Have Deadly Romantic Getaway In Gory Comedy Thriller — SXSW


Matrimony is murder in director Jorma Taccone‘s gory marital dark comedy Over Your Dead Body, which made its world premiere Saturday at SXSW.

In the film, written by Nick Kocher and Brian McElhaney, a married couple with a strained relationship goes on a seemingly romantic trip to a remote cabin, where both have secretly planned to murder their spouse.

But when a group of fugitives is discovered to be squatting in their attic, both their plans are thrown for a loop, as the husband and wife must now work together to survive.

Jason Segel brings his larger-than-life comedic chops to the role of struggling screenwriter Dan, complimented expertly by ‘Scream Queen’ Samara Weaving as his constantly annoyed actress wife Lisa. Constantly at each other’s throats, the pair matches wits with demeaning quips and physical comedy greatness.
