"Even when they talk about murdering someone, they are BORING!". That is what my daughter said when she gave up and left the room while watching "The Corpse"...and frankly, I can't blame her. After all, this is supposed to be a scary film but it turned out to be very talky and tepid. Often the creepy music is more interesting than the action (or lack thereof) in this movie.
Michael Gough plays the very, very controlling and angry head of a stuffy British family. He intimidates, demeans and abuses his family. As for the daughter, he lashes her brutally (there sure is an interesting sexual undertone to this). And the wife is like a whipped puppy. Eventually, the two have had enough and decide to kill the guy. What happens next? The body disappears! Now doesn't all that SOUND fantastic to watch? Yep...but it wasn't. Dull, talky and poorly acted in several cases. This is just a bad film and should be avoided unless you like dull films....dull, dull, dull. Did I mention that it was dull?!
