I Sell The Dead (2008) 7/10

Starring : Dominic Monaghan, Ron Perlman, Larry Fessenden
Director : Glenn McQuaid
Running Time : 82 mins

Faced with being beheaded for murder, grave-robber Arthur Blake (Monaghan) tells his life story to Father Francis Duffy (Perlman), explaining how he got into stealing corpses with his mentor Willie Grimes (Fessenden), and coming out with an almost unbelievable tale of aliens, immortality, and the undead.

I actually thought this was pretty good for a movie I’d never even heard of before. Monaghan and Fessenden are great in the lead roles, and the idea that Monaghan is telling the story to Perlman allows us to believe that what he is telling may not be entirely true. It isn’t until the final scene that we know for sure whether or not he is lying, and it’s definitely worth the wait.
