Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things

Under discussion:

An early film by director/writer Bob Clark (better known for "Black Christmas"-1975, & "Christmas Story"), it is probably the best black-comedy-living-dead-flesh-eating-gorey films made on a shoe-string budget. It involves a group of want-to-be film actors/makers who are led to a small abandoned isle to make a horror film. The extremely obnoxious director (played by Alan Ormsby) insults and ridicules the actors until they are totally disgusted with the whole project. Then - suddenly - after some occult-corpse-raising ritual - the killing and mandatory flesh-eating begins. The make-up and special effects are surprisingly above-average, and in many scenes quite welcomed since some of the characters really deserve it.  But of all the acting the best by far is from the hero of the film, Orville the corspe. Really can't recommend this movie enough. Another great film for every film student.
