CGiii Comment

It is as amateur as you can possibly imagine...BUT, Nathan Bexton carries the film single-handedly and is a joy to behold.

The continuity is all over the place.

The editing is atrocious...but, this little flick oozes such charm that it is difficult not to laugh out loud.

Necrophilia has never been presented in such an adorable way.

It is a simple piece...very rewarding...because, it is devoid of pretension.


No trailer...
