THE UNDERTAKER AND HIS PALS


Another of those creepy, cadaverous, cannibal comedy classics. How’s THAT for alliteration?

This one, though, is unusually frank in its depiction of killing and preparing the bodies for the big feast. If you can get through the gory stuff, you will probably giggle yourself silly.

It’s not meant to be taken seriously or even, I don’t believe, particularly upsetting. As a case in point, I offer the following: everyone person killed and eaten in this movie returns just before the ending, seeming to have fun with the way the die on screen. If all “splatter” films had the kind sense of humor that THE UNDERTAKER AND HIS PALS does, more people would be able to enjoy them.

I know nothing about the “stars” of this movie; they probably all went on to be dieticians. Or morticians.

Rating: 8 “menus” out of a possible 10.
