With eerie atmosphere to spare, and an emphasis on communal terrors and long-buried secrets, this surprisingly wistful film hews closer to folk horror, suggesting Robin Hardy’s The Wicker Man by way of Willard Huyck and Gloria Katz’s Messiah of Evil.
Elegantly constructed, wittily executed, delightfully ruthless, and scary as hell.
A town where tourists and hapless visitors are murdered, and the dead are revived by a big band-loving mortician, descends into gore and madness. [16 Mar 2007, p.C5]
Fairly standard and cynical stuff, with enough threatening incidents to satisfy the most jaded horror-film buff.
A nice twist on the usual small-town-hides-sinister-secret setup, this offers some genuine scares and impressive gore.
Most of the plot twists are confusing and haphazardly developed, leaving the movie as little more than an excuse to show off Stan Winston's admittedly effective gore effects.
