Our take
Over Your Dead Body is rated R for sexual content, gore, sexual assault, pervasive language, and strong bloody violence. A couple's remote getaway becomes a mutual murder scheme. Official rating reasons flag sexual assault alongside bloody violence and gore. This is adult black comedy, not a relationship drama for teens
Story (may spoil tone)
A dysfunctional couple head to a remote cabin to "reconnect", but each has secret intentions to kill the other.

Talk after watching
- Both partners hide violent plans. What does the film say about trust in relationships?
- Dark comedies treat murder lightly. When does satire feel harmful instead of clever?
- Remote settings isolate characters. How does loneliness change conflict?
