Leave your thoughts about A Cadaver Christmas.
| VarietyDennis HarveyA small, unremarkable but quite funny tale of revivified dead people overtaking a university building over holiday break. |
| User ReviewBeau BCaught this at the Cedar Rapids Independent Film Festival. Funny, gory, can't wait for it to get released October 9th! |
| User ReviewFred HSo bad, and deliberately so, it's hilarious! |
| User ReviewJose MHave a nice warm Cadaver Christmas. Most new horror films that were filmed without a studio back are bound be crap. However, the case of Cadaver Christmas, it works to their advantage. The writers and directors go for it and make this film as bad as possible that would have been a hit in the 70s and 80s. Never mind the plot or characters or the complexities, we have a bloodied janitor, an ex-cop, convict, and two guys from the bar, they go to a university to suppress a zombie threat or cadavers as the janitor argues. The film is sully and silly, but it works nicely. You want to have a good time from the depressing holidays, take this film. |
| User ReviewDave RWell it was pretty dumb movie but still got a laugh out of it there not zombies there cadavers as the janitor would say funny B movie for sure |
| User ReviewDexter LMy sister in law picked this one up at a failing video rental place, which in retrospect seems appropriate. This movie reeks of desperate, go-getter, succeed-or-die, Filmmakers who try so hard that they ruin what could have been a fun movie. I say this because the writing actually isn't all that bad. That is if you go under the assumption that they were going for a tongue in cheek approach (which I believe they were). There are some chunks of time where the ticking clock of doom seems to take a time out to give way to not so bad camp dialogue with some ok one liners. But, aside from that the pacing is... You know what I take it back. The writing is awful. It's the dialogue and characters I find charming. But the acting is SO overdone that it makes what they're saying hard to focus on. The Cop is particularly guilty of this. It's a movie about a zombie uprising in a small university town, but the amount of time spent with zombies... Oops... Sorry... "Cadavers" (wouldn't want copy write infringement?). Anyway the amount of time spent with "Cadavers" is barely worth the effort of calling this a "Cadaver" Christmas. The film is chalk full if obvious influences (or rip offs) from such films as Planet Terror, Evil Dead, Creepshow, Dawn if the Dead, and that's just to name a few. Bottom Line: it's a terrible film. But it's the kind of terrible I would watch again for fun. So, I find myself recommending this film to anyone who enjoys a "So Bad It's Funny" horror film. |
| User Reviewbill sTries to be the funny,gross and quirky indie horror film.Doesn't come remotely close but tries. |
| User ReviewKim Mthis is so much a B movie that you want riff trac/mystry science theatre just to make it better to dub over cause it so bad even the attempt to grindhouse its filmstock |
| User ReviewPaul JI am a fan of B-movies, specifically B-horror, but this doesn't even classify as a B level movie as most would have you believe. While the direction and look of the movie are about B level, the writing, acting, and humor are just shit. Most B-movies are known for overacting, this would have worked well in the film.... had anyone actually acted. The people in the film just appear to be repeating lines they once read. Perhaps it was the writing that should take a lot of the blame though, people don't talk or act the way these people talk and act. Even the humor doesn't land, which is basically a because of a combination the the former points I've made. Perhaps a movie to make fun of with your friends, but just do your best to never spend any money on this. |
