Critics Consensus

Lost Skeleton is clever at spoofing B-movies, but the joke isn't sustainable for its running time.

A bland inside joke for genre aficionados.

2.5/5

In a way, this failure is a product of its success: so adept is Blamire's backhanded homage that it results in a film every bit as gruelling as its antecedents.

It's all great fun, and Blamire has at least as promising a future as all this dot.com nonsense.

An independent production written, produced, directed and starring Larry Blamire.... Now this is a movie.

Obey the skeleton. Forget all about Mesa of Lost Women. This is the one you've been looking for.

As a lifelong fan of 1950's monster and sci-fi pictures, I can honestly say that THE LOST SKELETON OF CADAVRA is outstanding on every level. Hilariously funny, brilliantly written, acted, scored, directed, and dead-on accurate at capturing every nuance of the archetypal films it pays homage to. Run, don't walk, and see THE LOST SKELETON OF CADAVRA!

Schlocky perfection.

The quintessential perfect movie! Larry Blamire's period piece so perfectly captures the feel of those poorly made B-movies of the 50s. Well deserving of it's cult status among fans. If you've never seen it, find it... then check your brain at the door before viewing. =)

Obvious sci-fi satire is obvious.

What a hoot! A great spoof of those campy b-movies from the 50s. Everyone looks like they are having a ball. Not for everyone, but if you like spoofs and satire you'll love it! Meow.
