Rickie and JT are your typical high school misfits, idle kids from the wrong side of the tracks. One afternoon, the pair cut class and escape their adolescent despair by quaffing beers and causing mischief at an abandoned mental hospital. Breaking through a rusted door that leads into a boiler room, they discover the naked body of a woman strapped to a gurney and covered in plastic. At first they suspect they've stumbled into the lair of a deranged killer, but the rusted entrance is proof that no one else has been in the space for years. Things take a dark turn when the body shows signs of life, and JT suggests he and Rickie shouldn't waste the opportunity to have some lewd and lusty fun with their naked captive. Horrified and disgusted by his friend's intentions in this unusual circumstance, Rickie struggles with his own moral compass. When word of their discovery spreads, a dangerous battle of wills erupts. Not for the faint-of-heart nor weak-of-stomach, this audacious teen thriller is a genre-busting odyssey that takes the conventions of the horror and coming-of-age movies and turns them on their heads. DEADGIRL is as sick, bloody, disturbing, funny, perverse, and original as it gets--consider yourself warned!
