Movie Review: I Sell The Dead

Have you wondered, like I have, what Dominic Monaghan and Billy Boyd have been  up to since Lord of the Rings? OK, I did hear that Dom was in a TV show called Lost, but I'm illiterate when it comes to TV, so it doesn't really count in my personal reality.Last night I watched I Sell The Dead, a snarky flick about two graverobbers in the 19th Century who find unexpected success in traffiking in the undead. It was an absolutely delightful film! Unexpectedly, so. Normally, you rent this kind of thing expecting to be able to see the wires and zippers holding the monsters together, with the dialogue and plot of a badly written children's book. And yeah, it had a little of that, but it was quite a funny and well-told story nonetheless. Really, can anything with Ron Perlman in it be all that bad? Don't answer that.I recommend it. If you're looking for something humorous, moderately gory, and fresh (in the sense of being a unique story, not in the olfactory sense), it'll certainly fulfill your Halloween expectations.
