Gripping horror film that focuses on the death of a prostitute through five different points of view. The first episode looks at what happens to the woman who discovers the body. The second focuses on a medical examiner who thinks the victim might bear a resemblance to her missing sister. The third is from the POV of a wife who comes to realize her husband may be the serial killer who committed the crime. The fourth, the mother of the victim who has to identify the body. Finally, the last story concerns the dead girl herself and the last few hours of her life.
Director Karen Montcrieff had mostly done TV work prior to this feature. For a new movie director, The Dead Girl delivers a punch you won't likely forget for some time. It's also good to see Hollywood veterans (Piper Laurie, Josh Brolin) helping out.
Brittany Murphy gives one of the most realistic and scary performances of a crack whore imaginable.
