A Cadaver Christmas

GREAT, GREAT, GREAT!!!
I saw this movie in the theater when it was privately released by the director in the Quad City area. Going into the showing, I had no idea what to expect, but I walked out a *HUGE* fan of Zerull and this film. His vision for the film is spectacular; he uses camera angles to create a texture to the piece that is hard to come by. There is a grainy, old-time feel to the movie that is somewhat cliche at the start, but then I got into the storyline, and loved how the "scratchiness" of his filming lent to the overall feel. Though I don't watch too many zombie movies, I loved this one! I don't know how much humor is typically included in the zombie genre, but I found myself laughing so hard at times that I couldn't breathe. Additionally, there is one scene that pulls at your heartstrings almost to the point of tears. I can't wait for Oct 9, so I can get my hands on a copy of this film!

A Christmas Classic
A Cadaver Christmas is the rare movie that manages to mix gory horror, humor, and genuine sweet holiday sentimentality and sadness into a film that is far more than the sum of its parts. Composed of two sides, each distinct is a film that amply satisfies both. On one hand you have a film that shows the down sides to the season with people having to work through it while others drown out their troubles at a bar and with out family. On the other side of the coin you have a great horror romp that never allows itself to be taken too seriously. I definately recommend this film for those who like a little heartfelt sentiment with their irony or a little humor with their horror.

Not A Pretender
Recently there have been a lot of new Zombie fans brought about by bigger budget movies like Zombieland and movies of that nature. But Cadaver Christmas is a true, low budget indie zombie movie, the kind that makes the genre great. It knows what it is and it embraces it and the entirety of its genre. If you don't like B-movies you may not fully grasp the humor of Cadaver Christmas. But if you love witty humor, zombies, and B-movies make you feel all warm inside, then Cadaver Christmas might be for you.
