MartinHafer Some movies are terrible in that they're painfully bad and yet the filmmakers tried to make a good film. A few films, like this one, are terrible but the folks who made it KNEW it would be and seemed to want to make a bad film....and I can appreciate that. Because of this, it's hard to give a numerical rating. Yes, it's inept but also a bit fun and perhaps worth watching.The film is about a group of three weirdos that go out and commit all sorts of violent murders. They are bloody and nasty indeed. Why they do it is bizarre...in order to drum up business for their funeral business! Huh?! But it's all done so tongue-in-cheek that no matter how bad it is, you cannot help but laugh. Additionally, the film is shameless is including LOTS of cheesecake--women who are not naked but who are very curvy and show a lot of skin. But when the film ends, each of the dead cast members come out and show that they really aren't dead and the film has a gentle goofiness that make it worth watching--but only if you are a schlock film aficionado. For them, this is well worth seeing. All others proceed at your own risk.
jonathan andersen Now don't get me wrong. There are amazing big budget movies obviously. There's nothing wrong with only liking well produced movies. But, if you can't appreciate this movie for what it is, your not a fan of cinema (in general). Your probably more of a fan of well produced cinema. There's really nothing wrong with this movie. It doesn't pretend to be anything that it isn't. It's a bad, low budget, goofy slasher flick. At times it is actually funny (in my opinion) like towards the end when the undertaker is chasing "Thursday" up the same staircase over and over again. And this movie is pretty brutal and graphic for its time. Like the live surgery scene. My final thought is, if you rate this movie less than 5 stars or consider it "a waste of life and time" why did you watch it in the first place? You knew what you were getting into. Stick to the matrix or avatar or whatever your really are into and quit wining about the crappy movie that no one forced you to watch.
christopher-underwood I seem to remember watching this years ago on some wretched video copy and barely managing through the modest 63 minute running time. This time, however, and I'm thinking, how could I have possibly misjudged this little beauty. Okay, it is a little uneven, some of the film stock seems not to match and we go from day to night and back within some short sequences but it's heart is so very much in the right place. Oh yes, and another thing I seemed not to fully appreciate way back when, this is a comedy. Fairly black humour and pretty gory but from start to finish this is most amusing. All actors perform well, especially Ray Dannis as the camp undertaker and the film is generally well shot and a good pace is maintained. Lots of little amusing asides and full on jokes and an especially effective routine up and down the stairs towards the end. Fun, funny, violent and gory - in a nice way!
john in missouri This film does at least have pretensions of having a plot. That's about the best that can be said about it.Badly written, badly acted, badly directed, and even the video quality (at least on the example I viewed) was blurry and grainy. It looks like it was shot with a home video camera. Hell, it probably was.I'm looking for bright spots here, and I'm struggling to think of any. I guess one or two of the girl actresses weren't that awful. I guess if you like looking at either the insides of a cow or pig or a clip from a stolen surgical film, you've got that for about 5 seconds. If your sense of humor hasn't progressed beyond thinking that sawing the legs off of a girl named Sally Lamb and serving them up to customers in a diner as "leg of lamb" is totally hilarious, I guess you've got that.Otherwise, you do have what is pretty much invariably true: those who adopt brutality as a way of life almost always find that sooner or later, it takes them to a bad end.Unfortunately, this movie isn't even a good kind of bad... it's just crap.Since IMDb doesn't allow you to specify 0 for a vote, I reluctantly have to give this film a 1.
