| User ReviewDavid. BI'm a sucker when it comes to low-budget zombie films. Even when the majority of them rarely work or are a complete and utter piece of...ummm u know where I was going!!.. But corpses shines. Rolfe Kanefsky is great. He directed one of the funniest demon films I have seen since the Evil Dead trilogy, 'The Hazing aka Dead Scared' and he also asked sexy Tiffany Shepis back to co-star alongside lawnmower man Jeff Fahey as your mad undertaker and your usual male b-actor. Corpses feels like a dedication to the awesome Re-Animator and because of that it had just the right amount of charm to make it easier to enjoy instead of forcing yourself through 90mins of something a couple of mates put together.. If you liked Re-Animator and like a little humor, you will like this. Even if the humor boarders on cheesiness..... |
| User ReviewLee ?Quirky low-budget Zombie comedy. Not as funny as it tries to be and it all comes off a bit too silly, but there's a couple humourous moments. Acting isn't the best and the plot is unoriginal and stale. It's got a bit of gore, nothing too disgusting but it's satisfactory enough, as was the bare flesh on show courtesy of a couple of hotties. Poor film overall, but there was enough entertainment to see me through to the end. |
| User ReviewBrian SBrain-dead on arrival tongue-in-cheek zombie flick in which a vengeful mortician uses a serum to bring the dead back to do his bidding for an hour at a time. The zombies are less than convincing, particularly the undead security guard with the supposedly severed arm clearly visible tucked under his shirt. The characters are stereotypical; creepy mortician, bitchy ex-wife who wants to turn his mortuary into a strip mall, straight-laced lawman, and rebellious teenager played by Tiffany Shepis, who is far and away the only good thing about this limp straight-to-video plopper. Even Jeff Fahey, who plays the police chief and would later appear in "Lost," is useless here, even more lifeless than the zombies themselves. "Corpses" owes a great deal to "Re-animator," but it lacks the wit and talent that made the latter film a horror classic. You may sit through it all -- I often found my attention wandering whenever Shepis wasn't on screen -- but you won't remember anything about it. I've already forgotten at least half of it. If you forget it right now, you'll save yourself an hour and a half. |
| User ReviewCarl NOne of Rolfe Kanefsky's weaker flicks, but still a lot better than average. It's always cool to see Jeff Fahey, but this film is owned by Tiffany Shepis; she looks stunning and she can actually act, too. |
| User ReviewWondra VAfter a fun teaming with the Hazing, Kanefsky and Shepis reteamed for this film that spun off the tracks at some point. Tiffany still gives it her all, though, and that's what I love about her. The film's biggest problem is that it can't decide how tongue-in-cheek to be, so when Fahey shows up in full Termintor gear, it just seems like another gag. |
| User ReviewPeter KThis is among the worst movies that I've ever seen. If you like zombies stay FAR away from this one! |
