The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra=20 "A complete delight for fans of psychotronic cinema and the Saturday-aftern= oon creature feature. Writer-director Larry Blamire has distilled every = clich=E9 of the drive-in movie era of low-budget horror and put it into = The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra, 90 minutes of pitch-perfect spoofing. The = dialogue is marvelously insipid, and the music (taken from a stock music = library) cuts in and out of the action with breathtaking suddenness. It = was even shot in Bronson Canyon, location of many a cheap B-picture (one = knock: the black-and-white image, shot on video, wears the eye out after a = while). Aliens from Mars crash-land, setting loose a mutant, while a mad = scientist re-awakens a talking skeleton that could hold the key to world = domination. And don't forget Animala, a half-woman, half-animal beatnik! = Rowwwr! Blamire allows it all to run on too long, yet hardcore fans of = this movie world will be hard-pressed to complain." - - from Amazon.com Film site: http://www.sonypictures.com/movies/thelostskeletonofcadavra/=20 Delightfully bad! =20 mjw
