Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

thor-teague This is one of the greatest spoofs I've ever seen. Nonstop laughs start to finish.The idea is, this is a parody of those 50's sci-fi B-Movies popularized in Drive-Ins and on MST3k. In fact, I feel Cadavra owes its existence at least somewhat to Mystery Science Theater; I hope more of its ilk are coming.This film is just plain a perfect comedy all around. Scientists that, "Well, do science!" Just some abstract, inexplicable mysticism they choose to call science. Watch for the junior chemistry set in Cadavra cave. Animala. She's made from four forest animals, the film eventually decides, none of them a cat which seems to be the way she's acting. Aliens are thrown in for no particular reason. So, Bamin and Targasso, are those... stupid names? Simple production, pretty basic stuff. Nothing fancy. The dialog... amazingly well written (believe it or not) spoof on wooden lifeless haplessly delivered dialog ubiquitous throughout B-Movie fare. The skeleton character, a well crafted wisecracker. Fay Masterson... very cute and underrated.Highly recommended for anyone with a sense of humor.

christopher-cole83 I am a big fan of the B movies, the ones that get shown on independent television stations late at night and were ripped on gloriously by shows such as Mystery Science Theater 3000. So when I saw that this was on Netflix, knowing that it is in fact an homage to those movies, I had to check it out.What I really liked was how this movie combined various elements from many divergent B movies into a plot that was relatively straight forward. I could almost pick out the specific movies they were recreating. Plus the location was a well known location where many of those films were shot. It is difficult to get more authentic.The acting is, of course, cheesy, but not in an overdone way. Rather it seemed as though it was respectful in trying to recreate the feel of the classic B movie. That's what an homage to those films needs to be.What keeps this from getting a perfect score though, in my opinion, is the look may have been better achieved had it not been shot on a digital hand-held camera and rather put on film. I know there are ways to get that grainy and out of focus type look in post production, and even the black and white was done in post, but still to make it feel more authentic I would have opted for a film camera instead. Really though that is the only complaint I have. The characters were good, followed the stereotype well, and this movie to me was thoroughly enjoyable.

qormi Great send up of cheesy 50's horror flicks. I remember going to the matinée in the 50's and early 60's and seeing stuff just as phony. The film supposedly takes place circa 1965, judging by the style of the T- Bird. All of the characters are very funny. The dialogue is priceless. The way they act is just like those characters from 50's sci fi films. The character, "Animala", played by Jennifer Blaire, is very funny. This lady is a very good actress (Trail of the Screaming Foreheads, Dark and Stormy Night) and it's too bad she never really made it big. Then again, it must be very hard to break into the big time these days - look at all the overrated actresses out there - Angelina Jolee, Julia Roberts, Sandra Bullock, Kate Hudson, etc. etc. I'm not being sarcastic - I think Jennifer Blaire is better looking and more talented than any of those A-Listers. Anyhow, I digress. The movie was hilarious....watch it!

Cosmoeticadotcom The 1950s were the Golden Age of schlock sci fi films- ranging from films so bad they've become classics- Plan 9 From Outer Space, and Robot Monster, to some better than expected films like The Brain From Planet Arous, and Them. It's the first set of films that is taken aim at by the film The Lost Skeleton Of Cadavra- replete with actors playing bad actors, who recite intentionally bad dialogue, that's repeated ad nauseam, as well as bad special effects and a determined 'humanitarian message'. This spoof of such films was written, directed, and starred in by Larry Blamire.The best part of this film is that, to enjoy it, one need not be drenched in the films it spoofs- it plays as both a 'straight' schlock film, and a satire. Blamire plays Dr. Paul Armstrong, a heroic scientist, in love with science, even as he notes scientists believe in nothing, out to retrieve a meteorite containing 'atmosphereum'. Fay Masterson is devoted wife, Betty. Susan McConnell and Andrew Parks are aliens named Lattis and Kro-Bar- descendants not only of nineteen-fifties alien stolidity, but the old Saturday Night Live Coneheads couple, in their forced imitations of human customs. Brian Howe and Jennifer Blaire (Blamire's real life wife) are mad scientist Dr. Roger Fleming and his woman-beast Animala- created using the alien's ray gun- a direct knock off of Plan 9's Vampira…. The schmaltziness, choppy editing, black and white, stock 1950s sci fi score, stock nature film footage of the animals Animala's created from, bad special effects- a miniature rocket ship, bad Geiger counter-like devices, and a cheesy inside to the aliens' rocketship, plus typically inappropriate Cold War-era morality playing, make the film an unexpected delight. Some critics think that camp can only occur unwittingly- such as in the cases of Ed Wood, or the worst of the Roger Corman films- and they may be right. But, The Lost Skeleton Of Cadavra isn't camp- it's satire, and there's a difference- self-awareness. Viewed seriously Plan 9 From Out Of Space may well be 'the worst movie ever made'- with classic lines as 'You humans are stupid, stupid, stupid!' meant to be social commentary. Fortunately, its unintended camp quotient, and myriad laughs, make it far more enjoyable than many sober, and somber films that reek. The Lost Skeleton Of Cadavra does not have that problem, for it's knowingly being bad. While you may not think a scene or line funny, there's an 'insider'-type meta-quality to the film that practically insulates it from any criticism. If you loathe 'good' bad films along with 'bad' bad films you'll never get this film on any level. If you can discern the difference you cannot help but, at least, love- if not revel in the film. It was even shot in Bronson Canyon, outside Los Angeles, where films like Robot Monster, and many others, were shot.
