I Sell the Dead

It's exceedingly rare when a movie highlighting the lost profession of body-snatching appears, and this film will do nothing to advance the cause. The problem is that it tries to be both comedy and creep-fest at the same time: failing at both. What's the problem? Mainly the script, although the acting and effects are serviceable at best. It picks up a little midway when the "undead" start to pop up from the coffins turning the film into a sort of grave robbing zombie movie. Thankfully this film is in very limited release and more than likely will never appear at your local multiplex. It stars Dominic Monaghan from the Lord of the Rings trilogy and Ron Perlman from Hellboy, and frankly, they must have owed someone a favor: which has certainly been paid back.

Rating - 1 1/2 Stars
