This deliberately ridiculous paean to 1950s sci-fi/horror flicks hits all the right notes. It takes cues from just about every flick in the genre, with the cast members putting on campy performances (with the aliens speaking the most redundant phrases in the universe), and plainly obvious goofs throughout the whole movie (music that keeps playing even after the characters have distanced themselves from the source). "The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra" is clearly a movie that they had fun making, and it's as fun to watch as any space invasion movie from the Formica era. It shows us exactly why we love those cornball flicks. Kitsch lives forever! Are Fay Masterson and Jennifer Blaire hot or what?

A friend and I were watching a really awful, no budget movie, and I told him that it could have been a laugh riot if they had packaged it like "found" film, or a film that was copying the horrible style of a certain kind of bad movie. He didn't get it, so I showed him the trailer for Lost Skeleton on You Tube. He got it.Lost Skeleton is a wonderful, hilarious send up of 1950s era B grade sci-fi masquerading as a rediscovered film that had somehow been lost. The deadpan performances, bad dialogue and cheesy "fx" are spot on. The ubiquitous B-movie Bronson Caves are the perfect location. My two big complaints are: 1) It really drags at times and could easily have been 10 minutes shorter (B-movies from the 50's were often mercifully brief); 2) It totally looks digital. Film was likely outside the budget, but I had to mention it.Obey the Lost Skeleton and check out the sequel. I hear one is in the works.

I love being able to finish a movie and have such great one-liners in it you use in your everyday life. This was a low-budget film that still packed the laughs almost as much as any great comedy with high budgets and amazing advertisement. The Movie was just hilarious. I hadn't even heard of it until my sister insisted I watch it.When i finally did sit and watch it. I was laughing Beginning to End. Definitely a must see for anybody out there looking for a Cult Classic. Because this will remain one of my favorite movies of all time!!The characters and the way they really took on the rolls and portrayed such abnormal lifestyles in their own way... made this movie worth it. They believed in this masterpiece and it took it to a whole new level. The Story lines ability to come together and focus on just one thing ::Atmospherium:: made it entrapping and oh goodness.. who doesn't remember the "I Sleep Now" line! It is a MUST SEE!

The humor in this movie is so good it captures the essence of the B movies I watched as a kid on Saturday watching the "Creature Double Feature".Those old sci-fi movies were funny while attempting to be scary.And that feeling is captured in this modern day tongue and cheek sci-fi masterpiece.The actors in the movie completely understand writer/directer Larry Blamire's sense of humor and the genre he was going after.His style reminds me of the great Mel Brooks and his satirical spin on what can be called some of the greatest movies.If you like Robin Hood And The Men In Tights, Blazing Saddles, Monty Python, Kung Pow or other comedies of that style you will love "The Lost Skeleton Of Cadavra.Larry Blamire has a great sense of humor look for anything written or directed by him.
