Jack (Henry Rollins), a social outcast, is thrust out of his comfort zone when the outside world bangs on his door and he can't contain his violent past.
An exceptionally prolonged life brings depression and a detachment. Jack buys stolen blood from a hospital intern, plays bingo daily, sleeps fourteen hours a day, watches television six hours a day, and lives alone. This is his life and he has shelled himself away from social interactions. The fuse is lit when Jack’s past comes back to rattle him. Jack must now walk the tight rope of sobriety and try to eat as few people as possible in this violent tale of personal responsibility and self worth . As it turns out, there are very few reasons to live when you can’t die.
Reviews
“He Never Died has more than enough blood splattering and bone crushing to keep the avid horror fan entertained, but it also has a depth and a gauged inclusion of genuine humour that may draw horror sceptics to its cause.” – Starburst
“While He Never Died is hardly a comedy – it's bloody and reflective, with a gloomy side that sometimes threatens to sink it – these wry moments are central to its appeal.” – Hollywood Reporter
“He Never Died is a cool, confident, frequently sarcastic, and unexpectedly accomplished piece of work that'd probably still work pretty well with a different actor in the lead role, but then we'd be missing out on the best work of Henry Rollins' career.” – Nerdist
