People Are Dead follows an array of characters loosely connected by the exploits of one of the most sympathetic necrophiliacs in filmdom: a misunderstood young woman who kidnaps dead bodies to shower them with more love and affection than they ever received when alive. With Cassavetes-inspired cinema verite and totally naturalistic performances... People Are Dead is Kevin Ford's love letter to New York City's dark undercurrents.”
