(2008) ****I know I'm probably being generous with four stars but I thoroughly enjoyed this film. It's funny, surprisingly original, well acted and an all around good time. Arthur and Willie are grave robbers. They've been arrested and sentenced to death. Willie is beheaded in the first scene. Arthur is visited in prison by a priest who wills him to tell his story. What a story it is! Their profession was not only dealing with ordinary corpses, but aliens, vampires and zombies too. These extraordinary corpses yield more money so they become prime pickin's. Trouble abounds when Arthur and Willie encounter a rival grave robber and his team of misfits.
This really was a fun film, Tony and I were very pleased with it's originality. We were also happy to see Angus Scrimm (Phantasm) make a welcomed appearance as the evil Dr. Vernon Quint. It does get a bit campy near the end but not in a cheesy way. The cast seems so comfortable in their roles I just kept thinking this must have been a fun film to make. A nice light break from the heavy hitting horror, amusing and fun.
