| rec.arts.movies.reviewsMark R. LeeperNot funny enough to deserve a good rating. |
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenWhat redeems the whole enterprise is the affection that paradoxically comes through from its director, who obviously has tender memories of Mr. Wood. |
| TheFilmFile.comDustin PutmanLike all of the films Ed Wood directed, this new movie is a pure and simple dud. |
| Film BlatherEugene Novikovhough the film is distinctive, its unique style wore thin after about 20 minutes, and as it progressed, watching became a chore. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsShane BurridgeThe budgets of [Wood's] own efforts would have been splurged within the first minute of DIED's title credits |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliI can recommend three more enjoyable alternatives: counting the number of hairs on the back of your forearm, practicing breaking a cinder block in half with your bare hand, or submitting to a colonoscopy. |
| User ReviewJason TOne of the best frakkin movies I've ever seen. Saw the premiere at the Toronto Fil Festival years ago. |
| User ReviewJacob II like the ideal of telling this story visually. Having the actors go full pantomime with a pulp fiction Edward D Wood jr. script, gives this film quite a unique feel. |
| User ReviewLee MIt's sad and misguided and boring. Pretending to make a pathetically amateurish movie isn't nearly as effective as accidentally making one because you don't know any better. |
| User ReviewBill CHad it been played it straight rather than for high camp, it might've worked. Comes off like lukewarm John Waters but still, some interesting bits. |
