it's Animala.
If the rest of the movie captures the tone of the schlock-horror movies of the 50's (The Blob, The Tingler, etc.) like the trailer did, this will be one perfect modern, camp classic.
It stars Fay Masterson -- Sally from Eyes Wide Shut...
Inspired by sci-fi master Ed Wood
Source: Los Angeles Times
For his first feature, "The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra," writer-director-actor Larry Blamire didn't draw inspiration from the likes of Howard Hawks or John Ford or even Steven Spielberg. His role model was Ed Wood, the endearingly inept cross-dressing director of such dreadfully wonderful films as "Plan 9 from Outer Space" and "Bride of the Monster."
Blamire's black-and-white spoof, which opens Friday at the Nuart for a two-week run, was made in just 10 1/2 days on digital video for a mere $10,000. If you look closely at the long shots of the movie's alien rocket ship, you'll notice it was actually made out of a toilet paper roll.
Wood would be proud.
"EBay was our No. 1 source for props," says Blamire, who grew up in Boston watching '50s sci-fi flicks on TV. "I highly recommend them. I bought a box of electrical meters and the Geiger counter." He even got the title skeleton via the Internet auction house. "It was 90 bucks and was a medical school plastic model for study. That [thing] was heavy."
Shot on location in Bronson Canyon, a favorite locale of these films, and Lake Arrowhead in what Blamire calls "the miracle of Skeletorama," the convoluted plot revolves around a heroic but clueless scientist (Blamire), his ditzy wife (Fay Masterson), an evil scientist (Brian Howe), two harmless aliens (Andrew Parks and Susan McConnell), a sexy cat-woman named Animala (Blamire's wife, Jennifer Blair), a three-eyed mutant made of papier-mâché and the wisecracking skeleton of Cadavra, who are all after "that rarest of all radioactive elements, atmosphereum."
To make the film more authentic, Blamire scoured a music library in New York that has a rich archive of scores from these sci-fi films. "I went through hours of music," he says.
The movie went the festival route for more than a year before it was picked up for distribution by Sony Pictures Repertory. It opens nationwide March 12.
Blamire just finished a dark comedy in Boston called "Johnny Slade's Greatest Hits" and has penned the follow-up to "Cadavra," "The Trail of the Screaming Forehead."
The cast and crew of "Cadavra" will be appearing at the Nuart at both Friday and Saturday night screenings. The program also includes Ub Iwerks' vintage cartoon, "Skeleton Frolic!"
They ran the trailer for this at the front of Bad Santa. It looks hilarious, really good. "From the company that gave you Zombies of Mora Tau and Lawrence of Arabia!"
Take that, Lawrence of Arabia!
Quote from: MacGuffin"The Trail of the Screaming Forehead."
amazing.
Saw this trailer in front of Eternal Sunshine... -- it looks interesting enough, which is an achievement, because before I saw the trailer, I wasn't the least bit interested. Surely, if it succeeds in being the campy fun it aspires to be, it'll be very worthwhile. Reminds me of Ed Wood, and all the "great films" he aspired to make. So many great moments in the trailer alone. I'm definitely going to see this if I get a chance. Anyone else?
i still want to see this...
Columbia Tristar Home Entertainment have today announced The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra which stars Fay Masterson, Andrew Parks, Susan McConnell and Brian Howe. This 2001 film will be available in special edition form from the 22nd June this year. Retail should be set at around $24.96. I'm afraid we have no details on technical specs or extra material at this stage, but we'll let you know as soon as we hear anything.
Ebert gave this a bad review, if anyone cares. He says camp material is found, not created. Or something to that extent.
When I saw the trailer for this, it felt like everyone involved with it just knew how "cute" the idea was, which is probably going to kill it, like Haiku Tunnel. I don't know that I can deal with being winked at for 90 minutes straight.

Next up on the 22nd is "The Supreme Shock Classics of Our Time!", the cult fave The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra. Columbia will give this one the special edition treatment, presenting it in "Skeletorama" (aka groovy anamorphic widescreen) and Dolby 2.0 stereo, along with three featurettes, a still gallery and trailers. Retail will be $24.95.
