Description
‘Here’s a real UFO, an extremely
low-budget, genuinely independent film by a
22-year-old writer-director from Philadelphia that immediately establishes a
distinctive and promising voice. A Chronicle of
Corpses belongs to the small
but significant tradition of outsider art in
American movies – films like Herk Harvey’s Carnival of Souls or George
Romero’s Night of the Living Dead – that
reflect powerful personalities formed outside any academic or professional
tradition. That most of these are horror films is no
coincidence; they are the films that haunt American
cinema, pointing to paths that were never taken, to
doors that remain firmly closed.’ – Dave Kehr, The New York Times
