Cadaverella Trailers

Cinder knew her life was over when her father came home from a business trip with a new wife and her 2 daughters when she was only 6. When her father dies soon afterwards, she pretty much has to care for herself, as her stepmother whittles away her father's money and possessions. Cinder bides her time by hanging with her best friend Justin, working at the library with the unbearable Lenore, and crushing on Cash, the psycho who tends the lawn, until her 21st birthday, when she inherits the trust fund her father left for her. When she makes off with Justin's clay doll of the voodoo god Baron Samedi, the god visits her to help "make things happen" for her--including landing a night with Cash. Little did she know, however, that Cash was in cahoots with her step-mom to do away with her so they could get her trust fund money. Little did Cash and Step-mom know, that Baron Samedi was going to help Cinder get her revenge.

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

As I am typing this, this movie currently holds an IMDb rating of 3.4, which I think is rather harsh.While suffering from a rather boring start, I found this one to be dark, endearing and even funny at times, factors which are helped by good acting performances. There is one plot hole another reviewer mentioned about the twins staying the same age after several years, but this is partially explained in the end. As an added bonus, there is some great unexpected gore near the end. As long as you don't mind low budget, I would recommend at least giving this one a chance.7.5/10

Most people are REALLY exaggerating about this movie. Sure, it's low-budget and the special effects are laughable, but it's actually a rather good movie. Watchable, at the VERY least.Cinder is probably the least-likable Cinderella character ever. They really picked the wrong character for that role. Her poor coworker would have fit the bill much better. The kills are mediocre, there's a lot of boring filler, and the voiceovers are terribly unbelievable. Most of the characters are more like caricatures, extreme stereotypes and I guess are supposed to be ironic and funny, but come off as uninspired.Still, worth watching, especially if you like horror versions of fairy tales, or like laughing at bad effects with your friends.

Wow...OK. So, after reading the little feud on here, I decided I had to see this movie for myself. This movie is HORRIBLE. I stopped watching it. I strongly recommend cleaning a closet instead of watching this movie, you'll be more spooked/entertained.It's low budget with bad acting.Whoever is giving this movie 10s is completely incorrect and should be disregarded.I am in no way connected to any of the other reviewers.Simply put, this movie is not worth watching.Very, very BAD MOVIE.

Cadaverella starts as Cash (Ryan Seymour) is digging a grave for Cinder (Megan Goddard) who he has just murdered on behalf of her stepmother Donna (Jennifer Friend), what follows is the story of how Cinder ended up dead & more importantly what she is going to do about it...Editd, co-written & directed by Timothy Friend I'll try to keep this comment sort as I don't even want to think about Cadaverella anymore let alone waste time typing this review any longer than is necessary. The script by Timothy & Jennifer Friend is apparently supposed to be based on the fairy tale Cinderella, well to be frank I didn't see it but as an adult my memories of Cinderella are vague. Weren't there meant to be three ugly sisters? Didn't a pumpkin turn into a coach or something? Anyway none of what happens has any connection to Cinderella & if it does it's is purely accidental. At only just over 70 minutes long Cadaverella still bored me stiff & it took me two attempts to get through to the end, the character's are rubbish, the dialogue sucks, it has no pace, it's dull & it take an hour before Cinder gets killed so the films big selling point is condensed into barely 10 minutes at the end & I can pretty much promise you now the hour that leads up to it is a snooze-fest of the highest order where virtually nothing of interest happens.Working on a low budget director Friend does nothing special here, it looks every bit the cheaply shot piece of crap that it is. There is one part of this film which puzzle me, at the start Cinder is a young girl when her stepmother & her two twins move in, jump forward so Cinder is now a young lady but the two twins remain exactly the same age? Can someone explain that? No, I didn't think so. There area couple of gore scenes at the end, someone head is crushed, someones jaw is ripped of, someone gets a fist through there head & that's about that.Technically the film is basic & I'm being kind, there's no visual style or flair & this is pretty dull stuff to sit through. The acting wasn't exactly great but then again you probably expected that.Cadaverella is total crap from start to finish & I hated every moment of it, I don't think any filmmaker deliberately goes out to make a bad film but when I have to pay good money & spend time watching it it's difficult for me to cut worthless glorified home made films like this any slack.
