" I Sell the Dead"

"I Sell the Dead" is a comical movie directed and written by Glenn McQuiad. Staring in the movie is Dominic Monagham which we all know him as a certain hobbit from “Lord of the Rings” and Ron Perlman from “Hellboy”. The story takes place in the 18^th century where two grave robbers steals the dead and sells the corpses to a doctor. During their many adventures through the grave yard, they have encounters with vampires, zombie like creatures, and even aliens.  But their troubles don’t start there. The two grave robbers attempt to steal from a ghoulish and psychopathic family clan only to end up in shackles and to have one of the characters with his head rolling by his own feet. Don’t worry, that’s not the end of the film.

This movie has a dark, British humor to it.  From the start you can tell this movie will be different than the other horror movies, which is why I like this movie. It foggy atmosphere and creepy yet (in my opinion) spunky music sets its own tone. I liked this movie because of it’s unusually humor and its ability to make fun of the dead (or undead; depending how you look at it) and paranormal events which takes place in this movie. Creating a film that takes place in the 18^th century in England and to come across an alien and stumble on a vampire, is nothing but twisted and funny. Those of you that are obsessed with zombies will absolutely love this movie.
