    A highly enjoyable oddball indie about two bumbling grave robbers and their encounters with the supernatural. The humor is somewhat hit and miss (which is pretty common for a black comedy) and a few of the British cast is unintelligible but these are small nitpicky complaints com...( read more)pared to what does work which is practically everything else most notably its game cast, a witty and original story and convincing sets and costumes.

    This is one of the few horror comedies I've watched, and I definitely loved this movie!! It has it's fair share of horror and a lot of funny elements as well!! The story line is very non-linear and enjoyable, the acting is really commendable and the ending is great as well!! The ...( read more)only thing I wish this movie didn't have was the small alien segment, which seems too forced!! On the whole, a great watch!!

    Perfect plot and very funny, but somehow it wasn't enough to keep me watching. I don't really get it. It could have been perfect, but the slow beginning along with a bad makeup job, even worse special effects and a deficient interpretation of the monsters (the zombie's "body lang...( read more)uage" was lame) killed it.

    A slow start, but soon turned into enjoyable entertainment, with a few laughs.

    If you survive throught the slow opening, perhaps due to the aesthetic and rhythm, you start getting hints of a more interesting film along the way. It gradually gets more and more far out before getting into zombieland.

    But even with the final twist it fails to really do som...( read more)ething impressive. At best it got half a smirk out of me. So slow you either have to be in a similar mood or catatonic to get that smirk though!

    Not bad independent horror comedy with a very solid cast. Nothing new here, but enough of a wink and a nudge to some classic movie ideas that make it fun and interesting for its modest running time.

Critic Reviews

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune

The budget was clearly minuscule, but writer/director Glenn McQuaid's deft dialogue, strong characters and clever plotting attracted some impressive acting talent. full review

Ty Burr, Boston Globe

If it's not actually a good movie, on some level you have to admire the chutzpah of a film set in 1850s Ireland but shot on Staten Island. full review

Nick Schager, Slant Magazine

The cerebral horror of Wendigo and The Last Winter is nowhere to be found in Glenn McQuaid's meandering 19th-century supernatural gothic tale. full review
