Cadaverella Trailers

Cinder knew her life was over when her father came home from a business trip with a new wife and her 2 daughters when she was only 6. When her father dies soon afterwards, she pretty much has to care for herself, as her stepmother whittles away her father's money and possessions. Cinder bides her time by hanging with her best friend Justin, working at the library with the unbearable Lenore, and crushing on Cash, the psycho who tends the lawn, until her 21st birthday, when she inherits the trust fund her father left for her. When she makes off with Justin's clay doll of the voodoo god Baron Samedi, the god visits her to help "make things happen" for her--including landing a night with Cash. Little did she know, however, that Cash was in cahoots with her step-mom to do away with her so they could get her trust fund money. Little did Cash and Step-mom know, that Baron Samedi was going to help Cinder get her revenge.

Reviews
Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!
Greenes Please don't spend money on this.
Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Cody One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
hbeeinc After an overly broad opening that tries too hard to be cute/clever, Cadaverella settles down into a very nice little movie. It's uneven in spots but worth sticking it out. I'm shocked that Megan Goddard hasn't done anything else since she anchored this movie magnificently. It's not to much to say that her character and the great writing kept me watching. I'm glad I did. From Leonard Cohen to chicken feet, the lines pop out of left field making me bark with laughter. For a micro-budget, I loved the soundtrack. It didn't have the "my buddy's cousin has a BITCHIN' band, dude" quality of screeching guitars, bad synthesizers and pretentious lyrics. Keiran Hunter, playing split roles, delineated the two characters well enough that I didn't catch until almost the end of the movie. Ryan Seymour, also playing split roles, was dull in both. There's a real humanity in the script and genuine feeling in Goddard's performance. I'm on a micro-budget kick right now and this ranks in the top 5 of what I've watched. Don't get thrown off by the opening. Just enjoy it.
PandoraTheEverCurious Okay so whoever decided to think of writing the plot for this movie needs to go take some writing lessons and learn how a plot is developed. Also, they need to learn how to produce some decent effects in B-horror films such as these. If you're giving a movie the green light, please make sure it's at least decent. Most of the time I thought it was shot using a hand-held camera and a green screen! The actors were absolutely horrible and not likable at all, the characters were undeveloped which made the movie awkward and the plot just seemed to fall apart. I mean an idea like this had potential but I guess the writers, effects artists, actors and director just wanted to hurry and get this film over with. Cinder is a hateful girl, a real snob. I don't know why her friend would be in love with her. She's just a total witch. Why is Cash so obsessed with Cinder? Why does it take her forever to realize her friend is in love with her? Why is she a kleptomaniac? This films lack of a decent plot raises too many questions. I definitely hated the movie and would never watch it again, nor recommend it to anyone. I guess that's what you get for watching a movie on YouTube.
forest-nymph Most people are REALLY exaggerating about this movie. Sure, it's low-budget and the special effects are laughable, but it's actually a rather good movie. Watchable, at the VERY least.Cinder is probably the least-likable Cinderella character ever. They really picked the wrong character for that role. Her poor coworker would have fit the bill much better. The kills are mediocre, there's a lot of boring filler, and the voiceovers are terribly unbelievable. Most of the characters are more like caricatures, extreme stereotypes and I guess are supposed to be ironic and funny, but come off as uninspired.Still, worth watching, especially if you like horror versions of fairy tales, or like laughing at bad effects with your friends.
v_stojcevski Wow...OK. So, after reading the little feud on here, I decided I had to see this movie for myself. This movie is HORRIBLE. I stopped watching it. I strongly recommend cleaning a closet instead of watching this movie, you'll be more spooked/entertained.It's low budget with bad acting.Whoever is giving this movie 10s is completely incorrect and should be disregarded.I am in no way connected to any of the other reviewers.Simply put, this movie is not worth watching.Very, very BAD MOVIE.
