1988 - 89m.

Obviously meant to be tongue-in-cheek this low-budget necrophelia horror/comedy has a bored waitress marrying a well-off mortician on the fly and moving to his hometown only to start seeing all sorts of weird behaviour of the residents; who love the dead a bit more than she may think.

Opening with a vivisection that's cheap but okay, this is a mostly wooden and strained effort that's loaded with laughable moments and could have used a big dose of livening-up since it just plays blandly and comes out as junky.

Any movie that resorts to having the lead actresses' thoughts narrated to attempt to make sense of the dopey script should be a warning, but if you like them crappy then you'll definitely enjoy scenes such as when one body is shocked through her breasts, when some cheesy-ass zombies show-up and the amusing scene with the skin-peelin' motorbiker.

Dumb as dirt and lame as can be, but worth laughing at even if the final third is almost torture.
