It's kind of a semi-anthology in that many of us expect an anthology to be about disparate stories or changing characters where as in this one its about multiple short stories that follow the same characters in a chronological order. Sell the dead is very ghoulish and macabre that's done in a tight Halloween theme.
The connective tissue that holds the stories together is very well told and is well introduced and wrapped up whilst not overbearing between each story which is a well proven formula for anthologies and works well here. A priest records the stories of a condemned grave robber whom recounts a ghoulish series of intriguing supernatural events he has had over his life on the job. Simple.
There are great performances all round by some very well known faces which are a welcome sight for horror movie buffs and anthology lovers. Angus Scrimm (Phantasm) plays a ruthless mortician, Dominic Monaghan (Lost) and Larry Fessenden (Habit) are the foolish grave robbers, Ron Perlman and John Speredakos are just brilliant in there roles too and there's more. Let's just say there isn't a dole moment.
Great scripting, acting, directing in a movie that feels like it has high production values. I thought that whole movie experience felt uniform and perfectly paced from beginning to end. It's highly recommend and a definite a must see for Horror/Comedy movie buffs.
