It goes without saying that probably everyone who's looked at this has probably wondered, "Who is Wilbur Scott?" While not a familiar name at all in movie making, he has shot over 50 regional films in northern Michigan since 1991, including horror, comedy, sci-fi, and even a children's film!
Of course, THE CORPSE is straight-out horror, a nod back to the grimy low-budget horror of the 1970's. The plot takes a back seat to the disgusting acts of Mr. Johanis, the necrophiliac funeral home owner seeking to get down and dirty with the preserved corpse of his late wife Beverly. Yeah, he's one cracked cookie, as he hallucinates his wife rising from her grave. Gotta hand it to Scott, though, for he's made a sleazy short film filled with weirdness and while not overly gory or explicit in its subject matter, manages to hold one's attention all the way to the downbeat ending. God knows jaws had to drop at the film festivals it played at.
