The title "Habeas Corpus" already say what this little film is about. It is not about law, the constitution or politics, but about corpses at a graveyard. Laurel & Hardy star in this 20-minute black-and-white film that is almost 90 years old already. Most of the action takes place at a cemetery, but it is all comedy nonetheless, no horror, even if there are some spooky moments and people back then were probably easier to scare and may have found it slightly creepy. But by today's standards, it is not a scary film. Sadly, it is also not a good film. Stan & Ollie have been a lot funnier in other works, also in other works from their early short film phase. A bit disappointing as the writer/director team were very experienced with the material and worked on many other films from these two as well. Overall, I do not recommend this one. Watch something else from this hilarious duo instead.
