when people harp on about how they do not make em like they use to then just point them towards this fantastically entertaining and and quaint look and comedy horror from writer director glenn mcquaid . it a tale of graverobber ( play by dominic monaghan and larry fessenden ) who end up dig up more than just silent and immobile corps . after the initial shock of this they soon realise that they can actually turn the situation to their advantage . and that just what they try to do . mind you and it seem a if thing may not have work out quite a they plan a poor young arthur ( monaghan ) be actually relate his tale to a priest ( ron perlman ) before be take to the gallows . look at the detail of his filmography and mcquaid seem to have take the core of his first and short movie and expand it to this feature effort and which be no bad thing . fessenden return and do well and monaghan be one of those guy who can actually still get you to like him while he go about the nefarious business of steal from the dead and with other genre favourite such a perlman and angus scrimm on the scene this film be a lot of fun for genre fan . it also benefit from a unique and favourable design and look and at time move from e. c. comic style panel into live action ( a la creepshow ) and always somehow feeling quite authentic in it hammer horror feel . maybe everything be just cover over with so much dry ice but that beside the point . whatever be do to capture everything on film and it work . it work well . it may not have any actual scare but this film do have a great vein of black humour and definitely soaks every minute of it runtime in macabre material that should please all of those who have the patience for horror that a little bit more sedate and feel like it definitely could have be make back in the day of hammer . see this if you like represent the flesh and the fiend and the doctor and the devil and creepshow .
