Dead Guy

A wry, deadpan farce that keeps you grinning as a corpse gets shuffled around and everyone scrambles to save themselves.

Overview: When an abrasive old man suddenly dies in the apartment of a neighbor, an absurd game of hot potato begins with the not-so-dearly departed, as neighbors and building workers each pass the body along, in the hopes of not being linked to the old man’s demise.
How it feels: Absurd, satirical, dark and cynical. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Deception, guilt, isolation, class
Content: Strong language. Mild violence, gore and sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
