The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra is far funnier than I had any right to expect. From the opening short cartoon to the closing credit sequences, this movie tickles several ribs. It's got the mandatory quotable dialogue, the artfully artless acting, the exquisitely overly prolonged shot, which should make this movie a delight for fans of the B movie genre.
Of course, it's obviously deliberately bad and that's just fine. Think of it as hipsters sitting around telling a ghost story inspired by Plan 9 From Outer Space. Or don't think of it as anything at all and just revel in the winking badness.
I could tell you that I believe this to be a fantastic movie. But as a scientist, I believe in nothing.
UPDATE 2007/12/30: Seen Again
I saw it a second time and it was, if possible, even more amusing. Possibly because I knew what to expect of it this time out and so I was able to
pay more attention to the nuances of acting and dialogue. Still heartily recommended for dumb fun.
