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
