A fresh movie. It reminded me of Re-Animator by Stuart Gordon, the subjects are different, but the same energy flows through "I sell the dead". There is lots of humor in it, the gore is also well done. The story is about a grave robber, played by Dominic Monaghan. A monk, played by Ron Perlman visits Dominic in his cell before he is executed because of the grave robbery and supposed murder. There he tells the story of the movie.
There is also a role by Angus Scrimm, of Phantasm fame, the man with the balls :)

description: Dead, death, graves, graverobbers, dead boddies, undead bodies, vampires, aliens.......ZOMBIES!!!!!!! dark humor

This movie is the reason why I came to the festival, this movie was made by people who know me, who know my humor. The movie is twisted, sick, has very, very dark humor where people don't give a cunt's ass about the dead. So, what do you do for a living? Well, I dig up graves and get corpes out of the coffins and sell them to a mad old doctor of +70 years. He rather have them fresh, than thoroughly rotten. But normal corpes just don't sell good anymore. We need something more special, like vampires. While digging up vampires, why not have some fun and play "Stag!, you're it". Get the stick out of the vampire, let it come alive again, and then stick it right back in again and repeat it.......and then the aliens came.......aaaaaaargh...no not really, but you see one.....dead! And that in the middle ages. How about zombies, actually getting scared and then mad at a woman who puts of her mask?
The movie is a gem in it's gender. The setting is good (middle ages, somewhere), the humor is well done (and like Joost already mentioned, well timed), the genre is probably metioned as horror, but there is not so much blood in it, the makeup is a little bit cheap here and there, but not too sleezy, the acting is well done since the (main) actors play a good character. Even the special effects are nicely done. You can see it is a relatively low budget movie, but it is well done I feel. I think a bravo to the director for this one. A bigger budget would not have made the movie better and that is a good thing.
If you like horror comedies, this movie is definately for you.

The life and death of grave diggers

One of those films that puts a big grin on your face. Outright funny, excellent comic timing by the main cast - not forever changing the face of cinema but just a joy to watch and definitely the best of the day.

"bodysnatcher relates of the escapades of his trade, particularly concerning the more undead (less alive) cases"
quote: "a corpse is a corpse is a corpse"
Another film without pretensions, brimming with slapstick jokes, zombies, and drinking scenes. Well-acted in its way, frivolous.
A film which oozes the fun its makers must have had during shooting.
