Over Your Dead Body Film UK Premiere Date

About This Film

Over Your Dead Body is a psychological, action, thriller, horror film that blends backstage drama with supernatural terror. Directed by Takashi Miike, and written by Nick Kocher and Brian McElhaney, it is an English-language remake of the 2021 film The Trip. It stars Jason Segel, Samara Weaving, Paul Guilfoyle, Keith Jardine, Timothy Olyphant and Juliette Lewis.

The story follows a troupe of actors rehearsing a stage adaptation of the classic Japanese ghost tale Yotsuya Kaidan. As the lead actors become entangled in jealousy, betrayal, and obsessive relationships offstage, the boundaries between the play and reality begin to dissolve. The actress playing the vengeful ghost Oiwa starts to mirror the character’s descent into rage and tragedy, and eerie events suggest that the curse of the story may be infecting the cast itself.
