Lost Skeleton of Cadavra, The

Shot in black and white, with laborious dialogue and
wooden acting, this straight-faced tribute to the sci-fi horror flicks of the 1960s is fun for a while, but it soon turns dull, then stale. These are actors trying to be bad, which is far less entertaining than genuinely bad acting. In the end, Skeleton is worse than the movies it means to parody, and I’m not sure what the value is in that.
