Surprisingly uninteresting movie considering the subject matter; bland and uninvolving, with lackluster performances. Only during the initial "resurrection" (when it turns out that the resurrection men have resurrected a vampire) does anything even remotely interesting happen: the corpse is shown twitching spastically as it returns to life- just before it attacks. The attack itself, however, doesn't amount to much (it's brief, and not very well staged). The only other chance the filmmakers have to "grab" their audience occurs when the two blackguards unearth what turns out to be the corpse of- wait for it- an extraterrestrial. What might've been a classic scene, however, is handled ineptly: when the Mothership (one assumes; it's never actually shown) "spirits" the corpse away, the graverobbers just shrug it off and retire to the local pub for the night. The opportunities missed time and again make I SELL THE DEAD less than compelling viewing.
