Reviews

Film Threat - Unnamed
The joy behind this film is right there in the old-time, exploitation-tinged title.
75
The A.V. Club - Noel Murray
The movie goes out on a high, but until then, it plays almost like the pilot for a TV series. But it would be a GOOD TV series.
70
The Hollywood Reporter - Unnamed
The result is smart, gruesome and inventive enough to more than please niche genre fans who are likely to spread the word to fellow admirers of gallows humor.
70
Variety - Dennis Harvey
Antic horror comedy I Sell the Dead nods to the '60s Hammer heyday of fog-swirling Victorian chillers, as well as that period's penchant for teaming genre favorites (Boris Karloff, Basil Rathbone, Peter Lorre, etc.) in genial sendups.
70
The New York Times - Manohla Dargis
The jokes do wear thin, and the setup does too, but it’s nonetheless worth noting what a couple of crafty thieves can do with elbow grease, some spare change and the kind of deep movie love that never dies.
