Product Description

Oliver (Jay Baruchel) is destined for an uneventful life until the day he and his brother Jackie
breeze into town to attend the funeral of their estranged father. To everyone's bewilderment,
Oliver inherits his father s estate a funeral home.
Oliver learns from the handyman Henry (Graham Greene) that the home is on the verge of
bankruptcy. That night, his life gets increasingly complicated when he takes a drunken drive
with the bewitching embalmer Roberta (Rose Byrne) and collides with a hiker.
Roberta cleverly disguises the fatality as an accident, providing Oliver with his first paying
customer and launching the duo on a merciless killing spree that evolves from accidental to
intentional. As they scramble to stay out of jail and keep the funeral home in business, the
body count rises steeply and their victims expire in increasingly bizarre and brutal
accidents .
Trying to remain one step ahead of the local law (Roberta s father, Chief of Police Knickle,
and her boyfriend, Constable Richmond), Oliver is torn between the affections of Roberta and
his young, alluring stepmother, Luanne. With his business and love life blossoming, Oliver
gains confidence until he finds he has dug a grave for himself too deep to escape.

Customer Reviews

super dark and super funny, this film has it all! A must buy!!
great acting, and a very terrific and underrated score, this film has all the making that a true sleeper movie needs.

most have never heard of this gem, but it is terrific, with a wickedly delicious twist to top off one hell of a fun movie.

Funny and Dark
I wasn't expecting a lot from this movie but it was very good and the death scenes just kept getting more and more violent and creative

Buried humor
The talented, lovely Rose Byrne's perfect American accent can be heard in his lackluster dark comedy with a flock of fine Canadian actors. The story is as moody as the Nova Scotia weather and, at times, even more gruesome. Sad to say, I never got caught up in the humor. But it's not awful -- and few things are as vitalizing as gazing at Rose.
