i saw this movie a part of the midnite madness at sitges . set in 18th century england and the plot cover the life of arthur blake from his first outing a an apprentice grave robber to his final confession on the eve of his execution . the plot move along via a series of misadventure involve arthur and his partner encounter various unsavory character and bizarre situation . the first thing that strike you about this movie be how accurately they manage to capture the look of the hammer period horror and the atmosphere be set with lot of fog laden graveyard and rowdy tavern scene and excellent set or costume design . for a movie title i sell the dead and i be expect the emphasis to be mostly on horror do not get me wrong there be some jumpy moment and gore and but the tone be very much comedic and drive by the situation the character get themselves into and their dialog . the close comparison to the scene between the two lead ( larry fessenden and dominic monaghan ) be the character interaction see in the classic english comedy only fool and horse and the two ronnies and morecambe and wise . the acting be strong and the casting of very familiar face in ron perlman and angus scrimm lift the movie above many of the others on view in sitges . overall the movie offer something very different to the current crop of mainstream horror and will leave a smile on your face .
