I often get kidded for my choice of Monster Movies - Zombies of Mora Tora, Terrors of Spider Island, Queen of the Zombies, etc, so I like Schlock. There is the nostalgia I feel when I see the movies I used to take seriously as an adolescent. I used to think Batman was a drama too! I enjoy watching them today with like-minded people. We make fun of them and have a great time doing it.
But this movie contained none of the nostalgia that I was accustomed to. Mostly because it was made in 2001, not 1961.
It also just plain didn't work. Its like they TRIED to make a stupid movie. They succeeded. It was so stupid I couldn't watch it.
The other types of movies I mentioned worked because they were made as serious movies, at least for kids, and adults get a kick out of watching because of all the mistakes in them. This piece of schlock is one scene of DELIBERATE moronic humor after another.
For example, the constant references to science and scientists are a way to get us to laugh at an intentional mistake. Sorry, the repetition is exhausting after awhile.
Anyway, Lost Skeletons of Cadavra could have been a good spoof on 1950's monster movies. But it was a huge disappointment.
