I Sell the Dead
Glenn McQuaid 2008
Categories: Narrative Competition Features
Run time: 85 min. | USA | Language: English
18th century justice has finally caught up with grave robbers Arthur Blake and Willie Grimes. With the specter of the guillotine looming over him, young Blake confesses to a priest, Father Duffy, about his fifteen years of adventure in the resurrection trade; from his humble beginnings as a young boy stealing trinkets from corpses, to his partnership with seasoned ghoul Willie Grimes hunting creatures unwilling to accept their place in the ground. The colorful and peculiar history of Grimes and Blake is one filled with adventure, horror, and vicious professional competition that ends where it begins -- the grave.

Low budget meets high imagination and takes a justified thrashing. I Sell The Dead is a Grade-A masterpiece of morbid fun.

- Gareth Upton, Film Programmer

Great film. I went to see the short before it called 'A Little Mouth to Feed' without knowing much about this film and it was excellent. I loved the short too and stayed through this entire film. The cast was great and I loved the shot of the 'alien' and the zombie near the end. Ron Pearlman was incredible and I did not know Dominic Monaghan could play comedy so well. He and and Larry Fessenden worked very well together and almost had an 'old buddy movie' feel to the way they worked together. Hard to imagine it was not made in Europe. The sets were really good.
