I Sell The Dead

The midnight shows are always a bit of a risk. Horror movies can be either pretty awesome, or pretty terrible and fragmented. I Sell The Dead falls somewhere in between. The story is of pretty standard quality. The dialog is suitably cheesy, with plenty of jokes (some of which work better than others).

The settings are actually quite well done, with good atmospheric effects. I spent quite a few minutes enjoying the sensation that something was going to jump out and grab the characters.

Dominic Monaghan and Ron Perlman are both very enjoyable, and the rest of the cast is suitably grimy and toothless.

Basically this is a fun film if you're into black comedy. Otherwise probably a pass.
