GL84 While awaiting the guillotine, a man recounts the story of him and his partner's quest to dig up the bodies of the dead to deliver to a doctor for medical study, and how one such encounter lead to them encountering the dead walking the Earth.On the whole this one was an enjoyable if flawed effort. The biggest effort holding this one back is that hardly anything at all happens in here, as the action scenes here are so infrequent that it really stumbles around with its pacing. Concentrating on how they're going about grave-robbing as successfully as they are for as long as this one does really affects this one at rather large segments of time without offering a lot of interesting scenes here, and that also manages to expose other flaws here. by forgoing the horror action, there's other scenes here that need to take up that time which comes in the form of several lame subplots that don't impart much action on the action, as the involvement of the girlfriend serves nothing here with their relationship not really providing the obstacle it's supposed to be for them to keep their business secret. There's never anything about her discovering them and the scenes weren't all that integral to what's going on for the pace, while the constant scenes interrupting the plot going back to the jail cell aren't all that well-done either as it goes back to simply see what's already been given in the plot so there just eat up time needlessly. As well, the comedy here is a little goofy and not up to many individual's tastes here with the sound and music gags for many not really being funny which does come up as a potential problem. Overall, all of these combine together into long stretches of problematic scenes here that hold it down yet still offers some rather fun times here when it was doing something that these here are fun enough. The main fun comes from the second half as that's where the zombie action is mostly centered around, as it mostly starts with the eerie journey to the island with the night-time setting and heavy fog masking the source of the growls coming off incredibly atmosphere before the chaos and panic once they find the box containing the captive zombie and how he gets loose providing some stellar action in the escapes and encounters as well as giving off some solid gore. Likewise, despite not really offering a lot of action the opening does have some stellar atmospheric shots of the two out and about grave-robbing which is full of creepy and rather chilling scenes throughout here. Along with the creepy make-up, these here make up the films' best parts here with these hold it up, though as a zombie film this is lowered due to their lack of screen-time.Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence and Graphic Language.

zif ofoz If you bother to read any of the other reviews here you will discover that this movie is an odd adventure story flashback that you will love or hate.It's got a cheap look but that look is consistent start to finish and especially in the coloration. Dialog is clever and characterizations spot on. Authur and Willy find themselves mixed into laughable and dangerous situations but always come out 'just fine'.This is great choice for anyones party movie to get the guest talking and laughing. And then you will want to watch it again to calm that hang-over!!!

thewubbelupagus I think this was one of the strangest and coolest films I've seen in a while. The scenery is Dickensian and very atmospheric. Gives you a great sense of the dark side of Victorian era England. I didn't really know where it was going to go, so was actually somewhat surprised by it's foray into the supernatural. But this was generally a very enjoyable and humorous movie. I loved the interaction of the two main characters throughout the film, but felt like the plot got somewhat lost and ponderous during the second half. I thought the character of Murphy was introduced weakly and without the subsequent back-story which I felt would have been far more effective the other way around. The ending left me with a smile on my face though. I'd highly recommend this to people with a dark sense of humor and an open mind. Certain things about it reminded me of Delicatessen...it had that kind of rich atmosphere, morbid humor, and quirky characters and story, but didn't tie together or pace itself as well.

Rabh17 This one is an easy-going story. It's a tale, told first hand, of two friends in England who make their, ahem, living, by Grave-Robbing.As it is with British-type humor, the funny is in the dialogue and the setting without the usual blunt-nosed set-up that Hollywood sets you up for. Laid back, because the humor is the type that makes you smile afterward as opposed to guffawing out loud -- but funny just the same.And here and there, throughout, the touches of the Macabre are incidental set pieces that are just 'A funny thing happened on the way to the Graveyard the other night. . .' rather than the central horror of the movie. All in all, very well done, and ALL the characters are engaging and likable.Give this one a try if you and your friends are in the mood for some light horror with a side of funny. Pick this one for a slow Saturday Night with some good beer & chips.
