The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra – A Review
I wrote in a previous article that I felt the worst kinds of movies are the ones where the filmmakers get lost in their own sense of self-importance. Where their inflated sense of artistry prevents them from making a movie that’s actually good. I hate movies like these, because it doesn’t allow the film to have any sort of entertainment value. Luckily, The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra (2001), an independent film written, directed, and starring Larry Blamire, is not one of those movies. This is the kind of movie that is so bad, so silly, so tongue in cheek, that it’s actually a lot of fun to watch. It is one of those “good bad movies.” You know you’re in for a good time when the opening credits proclaim that the film was shot in “Skeletorama.”
