The film's bizarre, gore-soaked premise actually manages to ease viewers into the far more uncomfortable topic of grief - after all, dying is easy, but living with death is much more complicated.

You can go for the laughs or go for the chills with a high-concept horror like Nina Forever. You shouldn't muddle about the boring middle.
Peter Howell, Toronto Star

A diabolically effective anti-date movie.

The beauty of Nina Forever is how it upends expectations, avoiding any generic resolutions and refusing to fall into stereotypes of male and female behavior.
