Lack of good storyline.

hyped garbage

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

This is one of the greatest spoofs I've ever seen. Nonstop laughs start to finish.The idea is, this is a parody of those 50's sci-fi B-Movies popularized in Drive-Ins and on MST3k. In fact, I feel Cadavra owes its existence at least somewhat to Mystery Science Theater; I hope more of its ilk are coming.This film is just plain a perfect comedy all around. Scientists that, "Well, do science!" Just some abstract, inexplicable mysticism they choose to call science. Watch for the junior chemistry set in Cadavra cave. Animala. She's made from four forest animals, the film eventually decides, none of them a cat which seems to be the way she's acting. Aliens are thrown in for no particular reason. So, Bamin and Targasso, are those... stupid names? Simple production, pretty basic stuff. Nothing fancy. The dialog... amazingly well written (believe it or not) spoof on wooden lifeless haplessly delivered dialog ubiquitous throughout B-Movie fare. The skeleton character, a well crafted wisecracker. Fay Masterson... very cute and underrated.Highly recommended for anyone with a sense of humor.

Great send up of cheesy 50's horror flicks. I remember going to the matinée in the 50's and early 60's and seeing stuff just as phony. The film supposedly takes place circa 1965, judging by the style of the T- Bird. All of the characters are very funny. The dialogue is priceless. The way they act is just like those characters from 50's sci fi films. The character, "Animala", played by Jennifer Blaire, is very funny. This lady is a very good actress (Trail of the Screaming Foreheads, Dark and Stormy Night) and it's too bad she never really made it big. Then again, it must be very hard to break into the big time these days - look at all the overrated actresses out there - Angelina Jolee, Julia Roberts, Sandra Bullock, Kate Hudson, etc. etc. I'm not being sarcastic - I think Jennifer Blaire is better looking and more talented than any of those A-Listers. Anyhow, I digress. The movie was hilarious....watch it!

The 1950s were the Golden Age of schlock sci fi films- ranging from films so bad they've become classics- Plan 9 From Outer Space, and Robot Monster, to some better than expected films like The Brain From Planet Arous, and Them. It's the first set of films that is taken aim at by the film The Lost Skeleton Of Cadavra- replete with actors playing bad actors, who recite intentionally bad dialogue, that's repeated ad nauseam, as well as bad special effects and a determined 'humanitarian message'. This spoof of such films was written, directed, and starred in by Larry Blamire.The best part of this film is that, to enjoy it, one need not be drenched in the films it spoofs- it plays as both a 'straight' schlock film, and a satire. Blamire plays Dr. Paul Armstrong, a heroic scientist, in love with science, even as he notes scientists believe in nothing, out to retrieve a meteorite containing 'atmosphereum'. Fay Masterson is devoted wife, Betty. Susan McConnell and Andrew Parks are aliens named Lattis and Kro-Bar- descendants not only of nineteen-fifties alien stolidity, but the old Saturday Night Live Coneheads couple, in their forced imitations of human customs. Brian Howe and Jennifer Blaire (Blamire's real life wife) are mad scientist Dr. Roger Fleming and his woman-beast Animala- created using the alien's ray gun- a direct knock off of Plan 9's Vampira…. The schmaltziness, choppy editing, black and white, stock 1950s sci fi score, stock nature film footage of the animals Animala's created from, bad special effects- a miniature rocket ship, bad Geiger counter-like devices, and a cheesy inside to the aliens' rocketship, plus typically inappropriate Cold War-era morality playing, make the film an unexpected delight. Some critics think that camp can only occur unwittingly- such as in the cases of Ed Wood, or the worst of the Roger Corman films- and they may be right. But, The Lost Skeleton Of Cadavra isn't camp- it's satire, and there's a difference- self-awareness. Viewed seriously Plan 9 From Out Of Space may well be 'the worst movie ever made'- with classic lines as 'You humans are stupid, stupid, stupid!' meant to be social commentary. Fortunately, its unintended camp quotient, and myriad laughs, make it far more enjoyable than many sober, and somber films that reek. The Lost Skeleton Of Cadavra does not have that problem, for it's knowingly being bad. While you may not think a scene or line funny, there's an 'insider'-type meta-quality to the film that practically insulates it from any criticism. If you loathe 'good' bad films along with 'bad' bad films you'll never get this film on any level. If you can discern the difference you cannot help but, at least, love- if not revel in the film. It was even shot in Bronson Canyon, outside Los Angeles, where films like Robot Monster, and many others, were shot.

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.
