Often times by the time studios get involved any movie that has a clear narrative voice is bland'd down into a easily palatable Netflix experience. With "I need you dead" you have almost zero moments to breath as Rocko Zevenbergen and the "Bad Taste" team's first feature film is a juggernaut of freaky and genuinely strange scenes that clearly is indie movie magic that the artists had control of from start to finish. Every moment of this film was an edgy, freaky, decent into a plethora of grotesque and psychedelic scenarios.
For someone who is well versed in cinema it was surprising that it took me a while to recognize that "I need you dead" was having a physical impact on me as well. Just like "Taxi Driver" it took me a couple days to sort out "what I had seen" and even though this is the early stages of this crews film making careers you can clearly see the roots of original story telling and to be frank "some very creepy people with cameras".
