Death and Cremation


Yaaaarrrrrr out thereeee...
I watched this one yesterday, so I am just writing a few random thoughts:
General plot: An old guy (Brad Dourif), full of horrible, satanic pimples and a face that can turn milk to yogurt instantly, is the happy owner of a crematorium. And he likes society quite a lot. For no apparent reason he brutally kills and cremates young, not-so-extremely-clever girls from the local high school.
Looks like your first math teacher, doesn't he?

Yep, scene change. Boring, miserable EMO-boy in the local high school. Gets beaten quite a lot, hates everybody, smokes "pot" (yeah right, now you almost convinced me that smoking "things" lets you have these "puffy" cheeks...). Insignificant emo-boy argues with widow mum, boy looks for job, boy meets the old guy with the crematorium, old guy sympathizes the miserablemo-boy, so a partnership starts.
A few more stupid students are killed, plus a very efficient cop (they could probably cremate his balls and not getting upset), and some other insignificant corpses, and finally old guy and young emo-boy getting away in their car to new adventures.

Almost good points:
- Evil triumphs in the end (you see, dead cop, killers flee to Jamaican vacations).
- Brad Dourif is a respectably disgusting evil dude and a great actor (check here).
- Killing scenes are raw and efficient without pools of blood and internal organs flying everywhere.

Not so good points:
- The movie flow is not exactly "exciting". Characters are rather flat, plot sometimes goes in the form "I do not like you, I hate you, I kill you (brutally), next please". This style while it is absolutely normal for z-grade splatter films, it does not fit so well in this dark but wannabe serious horror movie.
Anyway, watch it, I think it worths your time, or send me a bunch of cheese-smelling flowers.

Rate: 6 (mostly because Dourif is an interesting villain)

See you soon with another pointless movie review...
