Graverobbers
Cute waitress/hooker is romanced and wed to handsome stranger/funeral director. He, as well as most of the town prefer their women dead. She is the obvious candidate for that position, as his two previous wives were in terrible shape even for dead persons. She must be fleet of foot indeed to avoid their fate.
Why it matters
A grimly playful blend of black comedy and small-town gothic where romance and mortality collide in the most unsettling way.
- A ’80s indie horror gem mixing macabre humor with eerie funeral-home atmospherics.
- The perfect pick for fans of offbeat cult horrors that balance laughs with genuine unease.
- Practical effects and makeup work lean into the grotesque decay of those “terrible shape” corpses, satisfying fans of tactile gore.
- A proto-feminist chase thriller wrapped in a morbid fairy tale — the heroine’s survival depends on speed and wit, not brute force.
