The lonely waitress of a diner Nora Mae Edwards (Elizabeth Mannino) has dreadful nightmares and difficulties to sleep. One night, her new client John Henry Cox (David Gregory), who is an undertaker, proposes to marry her immediately after knowing her and Nora accepts. Henry's driver Morley (Kelvin Keraga) drives Nora and Henry to his town, Newbury, and they get married in Henry's funeral home that belongs to his family by Rev. Collins (Kevin Scullin). Henry introduces his friends to Nora, among them the Sheriff Porter (Lawrence Bockius) and Emmaline Strickland (Judith Mayes). When the young and beautiful Cicely Matthews (Kathleen Margo) dies in a car accident, Nora snoops in the mortuary and sees that he husband and friends a necrophiliacs but she is not sure that it was not a daydream. But when Cicely's brother Evan Matthews (Adam Wahl) meets her, he discloses the dreadful secret of Newbury to Nora."Dead Mate" is a low-budget horror movie with a story with great potential but a screenplay that is a complete mess. Nora was a prostitute, but accepting to get married with a stranger is moronic. The society is formed by necrophiliacs, but is there a Dr. Frankenstein to bring life to the dead? Otherwise, who is Morley? Nora finds the truth about the dwellers of Newbury and is driving a car, but she heads to Henry's funeral home instead of leaving town. There are many other inconsistencies along the plot that ruin this movie. My vote is four.Title (Brazil): "Grave Robbers – Ladrões de Sepultura" ("Grave Robbers")

Necrophilia can be the inspiration for some dark humor, a good example being the film "Mortuary Academy". Occasionally "Dead Mate" tries the black comedy route, but most everything about this movie falls flat. It's the old story, mortician meets waitress, proposes in less than three minutes, and they are married that night. Great! Then things climb the weird scale. A pretty girl is run off the road. The body is delivered to the mortuary by two perverted ambulance drivers. The newly wed "gut pumper" then throws a necrophilia party. After this somewhat promising beginning, the film grinds on the viewer, with the bride wandering around town meeting the weird residents, and everything pretty much is downhill from there, including a totally inappropriate slapstick ending. By the way, I have seen high school plays with far better acting. - MERK

"Graverobbers" isn't all that much of a horror film at all.**SPOILERS**Meeting together in a diner, Nora Mae Edwards, (Elizabeth Mannino) decides to marry John Henry Cox, (David Gregory) after only a few minutes together and move into a mortuary together. When she arrives there, he introduces her to his family, Sheriff Potter, (Larry Bockius) Emmaline Strickland, (Judith Mayes) Bill Billings, (Kenneth Giek) and Rev. Collins, (Kevin Scullin) who all live in the town of Newbury where they live. When she starts to suspect that something might be wrong when a series of strange accidents plagues the residents of the town, she realizes that he and his friends are reanimating the dead bodies so that they can all engage in safe-sex practices without catching any sort of weird disease from them. Gradually learning that it's only the tip of what's actually going on in the town, she tries whatever she can to stay away from the psychotics and get out of town alive.The Good News: There wasn't a great deal of good stuff here. One of the better areas in this one is the film's rather intriguing plot and the mystery that's built up around it. It's going to be quite obvious what the film's about to those going into it, but the fact that the film decides to make it a mystery for the characters makes it a lot of fun to watch things play out, and from the random odd-segment here and there to the first resurrection scene and their interactions once the secret has been somewhat revealed, these all make the mystery a little more worthwhile than normal and are quite fun on their own as well. The necrophilia theme also allows for some rather sleazy sequences to pop up, nothing too shocking or revolting but still there's enough of it to be a little unsettling at best. The last rather good part of the film is the finale, which is just over-the-top and completely awesome. Starting with a great foot chase through town where everyone seems to be in on it to the full-on suspenseful trip through the basement that features the literal skeletons-in-the-closet coming to the light-of-day in a fun little chase all the way to the incredibly energetic and exciting car chase, that has a pursuer on motorcycle having his skin whipped off at the speed of travel all the way down to a skeleton no less, ending with a fantastic twist that works well for the film. It's a lot of fun, and all of these issues are the only good things about this one.The Bad News: There was a couple of big flaws with this one. One of the most serious is that the film can't decide when to be serious or goofy and silly. The initial premise is handled well, as are several other moments, but the majority of the time the film just switches over jarringly trying to make it seem like a light, entertaining romp as if the subject matter were too gruesome to carry on with and, needing only a few cursory moments in which to remind of what the overall film is about, almost all other times there's a sense of the film utilizing an attitude of just sheer camp that conflicts immensely with the rest of the events portrayed. From the attitudes of the townspeople to the comical situations presented and the overall feel coming from the actions, it's just impossible to take what's going on seriously, and instead of creating a fun atmosphere, it conflicts with the film's more serious moments because of the shift in tone so abruptly, which is greatly shown in the funeral scene as that just drags out forever with the pastor reading essentially the same thing over and over, yet the assembled masses treat the situation with great sadness. That's just a single example of this, and it's rampant through the whole film. Of course, another way to deal with this is to be interesting when it's not focused on them, and yet it fails here as well. This is a criminally dull film for the first part, lasting nearly fifty minutes before it even so much as starts putting some kind of momentum towards the pace, and yet it still feels quite slow and boring during these because of that, and the frequent tone changes don't help matters at all. Those two factors contribute heavily to the film, and are the biggest problems to get over with this one.The Final Verdict: An undoubtedly cheesy 80s horror film, though a shining example of how there can be a bad cheesy movie. Preferably only for those who enjoy hilariously bad movies or just cheesy 80s horror movies no matter the quality, while those who actually have a taste for quality should skip this.Rated R: Violence, Language, Nudity and themes of necrophilia

Deadmate, the worst movie ever made, a must see for any movie buff. Follow the exploits of John Henry Cox as he seduces a hot young waitress named nora, and together they move to the charming town of Newberry, New York. Once there the ever aware Nora discovers things are "not well" with Henry. The trail leads to a very undeveloped storyline full of surprises that make no sense, altogether adding to the effect of the absurdity of the movie. It comes highly recommended as a great party movie to watch with loaded friends.
