The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra Reviews

One heck of a good time.

| Aug 14, 2020

An independent production written, produced, directed and starring Larry Blamire.... Now this is a movie.

Obey the skeleton. Forget all about Mesa of Lost Women. This is the one you've been looking for.

Everything is just half-hearted in spite of the entertainment value.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 6, 2005

A bland inside joke for genre aficionados.

| Original Score: C | May 4, 2005

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jan 15, 2005

Watching campy movies can be almost as funny as as watching a well-written comedy. However, watching a movie that intentionally mimics bad filmmaking is excruciating.

Full Review | Original Score: D | Jul 16, 2004

It sounds like a marvelous idea... until you actually watch the movie.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jun 30, 2004

No, Cadavra isn't for everyone, but what a great gift to fans of drive-in flicks the world over.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 25, 2004

Blamire tires to re-create [Ed] Wood's stilted dialogue, but just because Wood was bad, it doesn't mean this is an easy job.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 18, 2004

In a way, this failure is a product of its success: so adept is Blamire's backhanded homage that it results in a film every bit as gruelling as its antecedents.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Apr 9, 2004

An affectionate, amusing tribute to the Ed Wood-style, no-budget science fiction films of the 1950s.

| Apr 9, 2004

It's all great fun, and Blamire has at least as promising a future as all this dot.com nonsense.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 9, 2004

It's campy, bad, and fun. Unfortunately, "bad" isn't always good.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 7, 2004

Since there's no shortage of enjoyably bad movies out there, why settle for processed cheese when there's real cheddar to be devoured?

| Original Score: C | Apr 1, 2004

When such amazing artifacts of genuine 1950s ineptitude as 'Robot Monster' are available on DVD, it's hard to imagine why anyone would prefer this ersatz cult readymade...

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 30, 2004

[The] slavish devotion to the shlock of the '50s that prevents the movie from ever becoming anything more than a bizarre curiosity.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Mar 17, 2004

There are only so many jabs you can take at B-movie genre tropes before you run out of gags.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Mar 17, 2004

Some judicious editing would make a huge improvement, however, because even at 90 minutes, it feels like Blamire's stretching the joke a bit thin.
