Strange undertaking
6 April 2013
The undertaker Ray Dannis saves what little entertainment there is to be had in this wildly uneven (I use the word loosely) "black comedy." His quirky character was a welcome respite from the dull or exploitation-style scenes he alternated with.

There was much padding of scenes of motorcycles racing back and forth in murky, poorly-lit or filmed scenes...I won't mention their relevance.

This could have been a lot better. The cast were plain vanilla and worse, the script and direction were generally weak. I'm not complaining about bad acting, of which there was enough, since that can add humor. A few scenes were amusing, but too many were just dumb and/or plodding. Substance-wise, this could have been condensed into a half-hour episode of an anthology like the old "Tales from the Darkside," since there was a lot of effort here to pad the running time.
