7/10
"This delightful bit of gallows humor has its high points."  PopMatters  Bill Gibron

7/10
"This one put a smile on my face in a way that few zombies movie have since they reanimated Mae West for Sextette."  CampBlood.org  Brian Juergens

"Glenn McQuaid's microbudgeted debut is a jauntily gothic period spook story."  Hollywood Reporter  Chris Barsanti

1.5/5
"Who knew you could make graverobbing boring?"  Filmcritic.com  Chris Cabin

B-
"Many pints of beer and blood flow freely in this old school horror reverie."  ColeSmithey.com  Cole Smithey

"Bits strike out in every which way but are not long, deep or effective, so 'I Sell the Dead' develops neither momentum nor personality."  ReelTalk Movie Reviews  Donald J. Levit

C-
"If you're old enough to remember the goofy double bills that American International used to churn out in the fifties, you'll have some idea of the quality of this movie. Whether you'll consider that an attractive proposition is another matter."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

"A fresh, darkly funny blend of crime [graverobbing, to be precise] and supernatural hijinks ... that delivers an offbeat but carefully balanced mix of shocks, homages and uneasy chuckles."  Miss FlickChick  Maitland McDonagh

6/10
"Rather than a serious attempt to resurrect the Gothic horror of the 1960s it is more just a reverential nod or even a send-up."  rec.arts.movies.reviews  Mark R. Leeper

"[C]annot help but be more miss than hit..."  Flick Filosopher  MaryAnn Johanson

4/5
"I Sell the Dead sports playful genre inventiveness, in which fans can delight and even outsiders can enjoy."  Film Threat  Matthew Sorrento

1/4
"The cerebral horror of Wendigo and The Last Winter is nowhere to be found in Glenn McQuaid's meandering 19th-century supernatural gothic tale."  Slant Magazine  Nick Schager
