Customer Reviews of The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra

Fun Saturday Afternoon Programmer ... ...
The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra proves that THEY can make em' like they used to. This movie actually feels and looks like it was made around 1961. This movie was shot in black and white and filmed in Bronson Canyon, California where many other B-Monsters found a hospitable home while trying to conquer the earth. Even the musical score sounds like the stock library music B-Movie filmmakers used in those days. So if you love
Plan Nine From Outer Space (1958) and Catwomen on the Moon (1952) then you will really enjoy this film.
In this Special Edition DVD of The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra
you get:
1) A Technicolor 1940s Ub Iwerks cartoon "Skeleton Frolic"
2) "Obey The Lost Skeleton!" making of featurette.
3) Two separate audio commenteries. The Director (Larry Blamire) and Crew. And a very funny Cast commentary.
4) "Q and A at the American Cinematheque". Quite interesting.
5) Full color blooper reel.
6) "Virtual Skelectables". A Imaginary collection of early 1960s Lost Skeleton bubble gum cards, games, drinking glasses
and box cover art of a "Aurora Model Kit" of the alien mutant
monster from the Lost Skeleton movie. Stuff you will never find
on EBay.
7) Last but not least, a excellent retro style Lost Skeleton
trailer.
I really enjoyed and appreciated "The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra". Check it out and ENJOY.

Brilliant
Try to imagine making a film like the old, cheesy 50's sci-fi monster movies. Piling on every stereotype imaginable. Finding all those overused locations.

Now imagine it with all the heart and affection that many of those low-budget films had, and you've got the idea of the "Lost Skeleton of Cadavra."

There are times, when watching this, I forgot I was watching something made in the 21st century. It's more homage than parody, though there are a few moments that seem to be just for laughs (and, which I feel were needless). Overall, it's a brilliant dedication to those not-quite good films that were so great.

But that's not all. The DVD has an animated short (why not a cartoon before the film), bloopers, commentary tracks, and more. With such an original and fun creation, and such a price, it's a must-have for fans of old films, bad films, and the truly odd.

Obey the skeleton? Hmm... I wonder...
"Lost Skeleton" is a brilliant parody/loving homage to those wonderful old B-movies (and Z-movies!) of the 50s and early 60s. The whole thing is played straight; no "Airplane"-style sight gags or knowing winks to the audience. The dialouge is clunky and cumbersome, the camera work is flat and unimaginative,the props are made from common household items, and the even the setting is a cliche (it was filmed in Bronson Canyon, made famous in countless bad horror films). To say much about the plot would spoil the fun, but you can expect a stalwart scientist (played by writer/director Larry Blamire) and his wife, two "aliens... from outer space" and thier pet mutant (with prerequisite bad costume), an evil scientist (with a great evil laugh!) and his beautiful assistant created from forrest animals, and the evil Skeleton. If you get the jokes, you will probably be doubled up from laughter within five minutes. If not, you'll most likely be bored though the entire film. The one major criticism of the film I had was that the joke wore thin in the middle of the film making it seem too long for what it was. Things pick up again for the finale, however. The extras on the DVD are almost as funny as the film itself (especially the perfectly toned trailer), and the whole thing makes a great party film for fans of the genre. And I just have to add on last thing about Jennifer Blaire as Animala in that skin-tight catsuit...ROWR!
Enjoy!
