Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times Mar 22, 2018
Contains nowhere near the vitality and urgency it needs to justify its existence. Go to Full Review
Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter Mar 22, 2018
Unlikely to erase anyone's memories of its classic B-movie inspiration, or even the inferior 1988 remake starring Dennis Quaid. But taken on its own terms, it's not bad. Go to Full Review
Tatiana Craine Village Voice Mar 21, 2018
Writer-director Stephen C. Sepher's thriller is so convoluted that it's hard to care about its trail of dead bodies. Go to Full Review

Poe S Aug 22, 2018 "The thriller noir Dead on Arrival has arrived-Dead on Time! an easy-flowing medley, with a clever whodunit twist waiting for you round the corner. Sepher keeps the characters credible, and even his hero is not given to unbelievable heroics" Syraj Syed Fipresci India "Haunting story, the film gives a bitter sweet comment on the ironies of a world so vibrant and yet so ailing..." Vanessa McMahon writer producer "The tale is irresistible from the first scene onward" Lia Fietz actress "This is a brilliantly atmospheric, engaging and stylish contemporary adult thriller with a cultish pedigree, as it is inspired by a famous film noirfrom 195O, also called D.O.A... This is a very commendable independent production, with sufficient production values and splendid locations that justify viewings on any festival or cinema screen." Phillip Bergson Fipresci "Dead on Arrival by Stephen C. Sepher (HEIST) stands the test of time: an impressive cast giving a fresh take to an edgy paced story.Look out for Dead on Arrival fresh on the festival circuit." Laurie Gordon Festival Director Animaze Montreal Anatomy of a Remake: D.O.A. 1950 to DEAD ON ARRIVAL 2017 with Emmy Nominated Billy Flynn: You've got topics embedded in this modern colorful noir from the dangers of vaccines to the lethality of prescription drugs and the opioid crisis in America. With which loaded tagline? "Vaccines Don't Kill People. People Kill People." Quendrith Johnson Foreign Presss Association LA See more
