DEAD LOVER (2025)

Gravedigger’s quest for love hasn’t been exactly fruitful, what with the stench of rotting corpses that has long since become one of her permanent features. Until she meets Lover, the brother of a defunct opera singer she just buried. Bored with his aristocratic milieu, his refined nostrils welcome her morbid odor with a passionate desire to wax lyrical about his undying love for her. And to have lots of hot ‘n’ steamy sex. But on a trip abroad he perishes at sea and all that’s left of him is a severed finger that sailors bring back home to the grief-stricken bride-to-be. Luckily she knows just what to do… to the laboratory! It’s Re-Animator time! Exhuming a whole range of genre flicks of a by-gone era, from German Expressionism to schlocky gothic horror, Grace Glowicki injects her corpse with delirious energy, madcap dialogues, heavy Mel Brooks vibes and surreal visuals shot on glorious 16mm.
