Over Your Dead Body

With The Lonely Island’s Jorma Taccone in the director’s chair, Over Your Dead Body is a gruesome, darkly comedic depiction of spouses who decide to skip couples therapy to deal with their marital issues and go straight to homicide instead. Jason Segel plays Dan, an antsy, uninspired director helming adverts and short-form content rather than feature films. With his marriage to aspiring actor wife Lisa (Samara Weaving, truly one of our greatest on-screen screamers) on the rocks, he whisks her away to his father’s cabin in the woods, where they eat steak, play the world’s most annoying game of Scrabble, and bicker constantly. But when he approaches her from behind, chloroform in hand, ready to knock her out before knocking her off to claim life-insurance money and be free of her belittlement, he gets a surprise—she was planning the exact same thing. They come clean about their bloody intentions, battling it out over whose crocodile tears would be most convincing to police, when surprise visitors to the cabin leave them fighting for their lives in entirely different ways.
