Dead Lover (2025)


Somewhat inspired by Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, a lonely, deranged grave digger, who reeks of corpses, dreams of true love. After briefly finding and subsequently losing it, she uses properties of a lizard and lightning to revive a part of him. I put this on because it sounded intriguing, but it quickly lulled me to sleep with its dollar store budget and incomprehensible plot in decidedly poor taste. Even at 80 minutes, this horror "comedy" feels like an eternity.
