Critic Reviews

A horror comedy much closer to the actor-riffing drollery of Edgar Wright and Christopher Guest than "Scary Movie"-style splatstick, Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Undead is one sly slice of the ridiculous.Full Review

Dennis Harvey
Variety

All of the riffs are twice and thrice removed, but the effect is lively rather than tiresome, largely on the strength of game performances, Sean Lennon's atmospheric score and writer/director Jordan Galland's clear affection for his sources.Full Review

L.A. Weekly

Like the vampires that cavort throughout it, this horror-comedy doesn't have much chance of surviving the harsh light of scrutiny--but as a loopy, antiserious lark, it should prove plenty alive on the midnight-movie circuit.Full Review

Joshua Rothkopf
Time Out New York

A toothless satire whose targets include vampire mania, low-rent theater, indie romantic comedies, Scorsese, Shakespeare and "Law & Order," it plays like a Web series expanded to feature length, or an adaptation of one of the Naked Angels' staged serial soap operas.Full Review

Mike Hale
The New York Times

Starts off feeling clever and original but turns silly and diffused as its convoluted story spins out.Full Review
