19th century justice has finally caught up to grave robbers Arthur Blake and Willie Grimes. With the specter of the guillotine looming over him, young Blake confides in visiting clergyman Father Duffy, recounting fifteen years of adventure in the resurrection trade. His tale leads from humble beginnings as a young boy stealing trinkets from corpses, to a partnership with seasoned ghoul Willie Grimes as they hunt creatures unwilling to accept their place in the ground. The colorful and peculiar history of Grimes and Blake is one filled with adventure, horror, and vicious rivalries that threaten to put all involved in the very graves they're trying to pilfer.

Most helpful review I Sell the Dead

Brilliant a must see film

By a customer from Kilwinning , 17 May 2009

[Highly rated reviewer]

I saw this at a festival and the entire cinema seemed to enjoy it going by the applause. It is a great laugh with a few jumps and a lot of poking the fun at hammer horror films all be it I'm not too sure on how deliberate this was.

Please don't think this is a horror film that will terrify. If you liked the humour in the evil dead films you will love this film.

Dull Rubbish.

By Gonemad1 (93 reviews) from ◄Gecko Reviews► , 09 Dec 2011

Very badly acted & boring movie nonsense.

Avoid this one as there is zero entertainment value to it what-so-ever!. No point to it ever being made.

Not Bad

By MikeyTurner (17 reviews) from Portsmouth , 19 Oct 2011

Quite a funny/strange film. Starts off quite slow and never really gets going. Found a little bit boring. But having said that its not a bad way to spend an hour and a half and the cast/acting are good. Just could have been a bit better. Overall good film though. Worth watching..

Absolute rubbish

By AlfieG (23 reviews) from Thurrock, England , 18 Dec 2010

I am not sure if this was supposed to be a horror or a comedy but to be honest it completely misses both genres. It isn't scary and it isn't funny.

An absolutely pointless movie with no real story to speak of and after watching the whole thing the ending is a complete disappointment.

Reall don't bother.

I sell the Dead

By entertainmentman (210 reviews) from South Croydon , 12 Oct 2010

'' A reasonably good horror comedy film about two gravediggers digging up corpses that are not dead. It was set in England and the acting was OK.''
