Darby and the Dead is no game-changer but it is thoroughly enjoyable and energetic.

With a refreshingly diverse cast and a compelling premise, there’s a lot to appreciate about Darby and the Dead — even with its muddied execution.

Darby and the Dead mashes up a host of YA movie tropes into a snappy but ultimately forgettable ride.

The cringeworthy comedy Darby and the Dead is as fresh and funny as a rotting corpse. This dreadful dud relentlessly insults its characters and viewers, as it clumsily rips off ideas from better movies.
