How Long Is “Dead Bodies”?

The return of a vengeful ex-girlfriend sets into motion a series of gruesome events for a hapless Irish bachelor in director Robert Quinn's grim black comedy. Tommy (Andrew Scott) had thought he had seen the last of Jean (Katy Davis) after their recent breakup, but when Jean returns to stake her claim on Tommy's apartment, the confrontation that ensues makes their previous quarrels look petty by comparison. After leaving the apartment in the head of the fight to cool his head and gather his thoughts, Tommy returns to the apartment only to find that Jean has died sometime in the course of the last few hours. Now faced with the prospect of being a murder suspect, Tommy enlists the aid of his friend Noel (Darren Healy) in ditching the body and ensuring that no one ever finds out what happened. Getting rid of Jean once and for all isn't going to be as simple as it sounds, though, and by the end of this long black night both Tommy's lies and the deceptions of others will return with a vengeance to throw a sizeable wrench in his perfect plan.
