ThiefHott Too much of everything

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

BA_Harrison Comedy/horror The Undertaker and His Pals is the best H. G. Lewis film he never directed. If I didn't know better, I would have sworn that this was the work of the legendary 'godfather of gore', the humour and graphic splatter in exactly the same spirit as Lewis's better films like The Gore Gore Girls and 2000 Maniacs; the real culprit, however, is one-time-only director T.L.P. Swicegood, who had clearly been taking careful notes while down at the drive-in.Swicegood's film follows three, vicious motorcycle riding sickos who randomly select pretty girls to murder, two of the killers, proprietors of a greasy spoon cafe, taking body parts to serve up as food, while the third, the undertaker of the title (played by Ray Dannis), making his living by approaching the recently bereaved and offering his professional services. Investigating the killings is private-eye Harry Glass (James Westmoreland).As with Lewis's films, the gore is cheaply executed and not particularly convincing, but gruesome enough to please fans of vintage splatter, with a meat-cleaver in the face, an impalement on a spiked fence, a stabbing, dismemberment and some internal organ fondling. The humour varies from the surreal (a photograph of a man changing expressions as the first girl is killed), to the corny (the descriptions of the dishes served up at the cafe relate to the victim's names), to the knockabout (the undertaker accidentally stepping on a skateboard), to the slapstick (a classic pie in the face gag).The film also offers up plenty of 'cheesecake', with several curvaceous cuties showing a little skin before falling foul of the killers, further qualifying the film as an entertaining '60s cult oddity, despite its obvious budgetary drawbacks.

tommywilley47 This movie is awesome. i love old school cinema. i love the absolute cheesiness of this film and how it is proud to flaunt it with no shame at all. My only problem with this movie is i wish it was a little longer. if it were an hour and a half instead of just over an hour they could have added some more gore or some extended funeral home scenes which were really funny in a really mean way. i also found it amusing how two of the girls who were killed and cooked up at the diner happened to have the last names "lamb" and "poultry". I know a lot of you are going to rip on this movie and its too bad cause i find it to be a really unique film for its time or any other time for that matter.give it a shot. if you like it you do and if you don't then you don't.

aaronmocksing1987 This movie is one to see when you're bored, and your pornography stash is just about dry and gone. Not that there is any of this here at all, except for the scenes where the women are stripped down to their skivvies. Everything else is pretty much a brave and bold attempt to bring the horror gene into Beach Blanket Bingo; you'd sware Roger Corman had a hand in this. Surprisingly, this is not true at all. On the other hand, this matches Rog's style and film machismo so well it's too hard to tell.If you're like me, I didn't even watch this. I just let it play until something else on the EastWest DVD came on. Of anything else here, I only glanced over to see the women show off their bosoms; I never knew, as a kid from the 80's and 90's, how hot women looked back then! These boobies literally jiggle in every frame! Some are pointed! Oh man, so hot.

john in missouri This film does at least have pretensions of having a plot. That's about the best that can be said about it.Badly written, badly acted, badly directed, and even the video quality (at least on the example I viewed) was blurry and grainy. It looks like it was shot with a home video camera. Hell, it probably was.I'm looking for bright spots here, and I'm struggling to think of any. I guess one or two of the girl actresses weren't that awful. I guess if you like looking at either the insides of a cow or pig or a clip from a stolen surgical film, you've got that for about 5 seconds. If your sense of humor hasn't progressed beyond thinking that sawing the legs off of a girl named Sally Lamb and serving them up to customers in a diner as "leg of lamb" is totally hilarious, I guess you've got that.Otherwise, you do have what is pretty much invariably true: those who adopt brutality as a way of life almost always find that sooner or later, it takes them to a bad end.Unfortunately, this movie isn't even a good kind of bad... it's just crap.Since IMDb doesn't allow you to specify 0 for a vote, I reluctantly have to give this film a 1.
