Talking to a family about Horror movies that I've recently viewed,I was happily caught by surprise,when he passed me a Grindhouse double bill.Checking the running times,I found out that one of the titles was only 63 minutes long,which led to me deciding that it would be the perfect time to meet the undertaker.The plot:Breaking into her apartment,a biker gang kill Sally Lamb.At the funeral the undertaker reveals to the Lamb family that he had to give Sally plastic legs,due to the gang having chopped her legs off.As the funeral is taking place, detective Harry Glass visits a local café,where the special of the day is "Leg of Lamb."Finding the meat to taste odd,Glass starts to investigate the café,which opened shortly after the funeral parlour started to have a sudden rush in booming business.View on the film:Cut down from its original running time,writer/director T.L.P. Swicegood cooks up a bonkers mix of grisly splatter and Silent-Movie style skits.Made on a very low budget, Swicegood gives the screenplay a deep[ Black Comedy cut,as modern day Sweeney Todd's slaughter any dame that catches their sight.Whilst he stacks the bodies high, Swicegood gives the splashes of blood a washed-up,dry appearance.which gives the movie a rather strange Kitsch atmosphere,which is joined by very funny, wooden performances,as Glass meets the undertakers pals.

The undertaker Ray Dannis saves what little entertainment there is to be had in this wildly uneven (I use the word loosely) "black comedy." His quirky character was a welcome respite from the dull or exploitation-style scenes he alternated with.There was much padding of scenes of motorcycles racing back and forth in murky, poorly-lit or filmed scenes...I won't mention their relevance.This could have been a lot better. The cast were plain vanilla and worse, the script and direction were generally weak. I'm not complaining about bad acting, of which there was enough, since that can add humor. A few scenes were amusing, but too many were just dumb and/or plodding. Substance-wise, this could have been condensed into a half-hour episode of an anthology like the old "Tales from the Darkside," since there was a lot of effort here to pad the running time.

Built around puns and sight gags this film is a sort of treasure. Sick humor, the players do a good job. None of them are accomplished actors or actresses but that actually seems to lend itself well to the characters themselves. Some times a little inexperience comes across in a positive way when the goal is silliness anyway. No tongue in cheek here, unless you just bought a tongue sandwich at the corner dinner and are still chewing, its all straight forward slap stick. For quality of production and etc. I would compare it to "Little Shop of Horrors". Its just plain funny. Not a great flick, but not a bad one either. All of it works well enough, and certain of the scenes show an actual flair for photography and staging. Which helps make it as cool as it is.

This film does at least have pretensions of having a plot. That's about the best that can be said about it.Badly written, badly acted, badly directed, and even the video quality (at least on the example I viewed) was blurry and grainy. It looks like it was shot with a home video camera. Hell, it probably was.I'm looking for bright spots here, and I'm struggling to think of any. I guess one or two of the girl actresses weren't that awful. I guess if you like looking at either the insides of a cow or pig or a clip from a stolen surgical film, you've got that for about 5 seconds. If your sense of humor hasn't progressed beyond thinking that sawing the legs off of a girl named Sally Lamb and serving them up to customers in a diner as "leg of lamb" is totally hilarious, I guess you've got that.Otherwise, you do have what is pretty much invariably true: those who adopt brutality as a way of life almost always find that sooner or later, it takes them to a bad end.Unfortunately, this movie isn't even a good kind of bad... it's just crap.Since IMDb doesn't allow you to specify 0 for a vote, I reluctantly have to give this film a 1.
