Alongside Jas Brooks (Snivure), proud to have worked with Grace Glowicki, director and star of this fabulously smelly film for TIFF (September, 2025) and beyond.

“A lonely Gravedigger who stinks of corpses finally finds her dream man, in a flamboyant romantic poet who finds her morbid stench an irresistible turn-on. The two begin a rapturous love affair, marry, and dream of starting a family – but their blooming relationship is cut short when the poet drowns at sea, and all that is recovered is his severed finger. Delirious with grief, the Gravedigger goes to morbid lengths to resurrect him through madcap scientific experiments, resulting in grave consequences and unlikely love.”

Audiences seemed to enjoy the bonus Stinky experience…

And this review by Rue Morgue Great to work on a film that already stinks!

TIFF ’25 MOVIE REVIEW: “DEAD LOVER” Is An Aromatic Take On A Classic Tale:

“Most films, good or bad, provoke some kind of visual and aural responses. That’s the point of the multi-sensory art form. At least, this is what movies have done since the advent of the talkie. DEAD LOVER also stinks. This isn’t meant pejoratively. Set in a world surrounded by dead bodies and no running water in sight, Canadian director Grace Glowicki’s follow-up to Tito is a freakish and more randy adaptation of Mary Shelley’s foundational Frankenstein where smell playfully and erotically figures into the story….

The “stink-o-vision” scratch-off cards that accompanied the film’s Canadian premiere at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival translated the screen smell to real ones in a way that was almost indelible to the experience of watching the film. The characters talk about and react to diegetic smells more than almost any movie in recent memory. The intense reactions Glowicki primes us to respond to include both the smell of ghost puke and genitalia, to give one an idea of the kind of gross this movie is. Even without the scratch-off cards that the audience can scratch and sniff during a film, the on-screen images are pungent on their own.”

Look out for upcoming Festival and commercial releases internationally, with a new and improved Stink-O-Vision experience!
