It could happen to you.... [major SPOILERS]

A lot of horror films have to deal with some fairly unlikely subjects (zombies, werewolves, vampires, ghosts).
Some lead up to these unlikely events with a plot that seems quite normal and reasonable. Things that could conceivably happen.
Others are held together by a more tenuous string of coincidences. They seem unlikely but that doesn’t ruin the film, they’re just dealing with strange subject matter.
The thing about Children Shouldn’t Play With Dead Things is that NONE of these things would ever happen (and I’m talking about the bit before the zombies arrive).
I actually like this film but…
Imagine,
your boss (who is VERY VERY odd, and a complete b*****d) takes you to a remote island at night. Then he tells you that you will be digging up a corpse.

Most people would leave when he handed them a shovel.

Then someone he buried earlier (!) jumps out because it’s all a joke. Hahaha.
Then he produces a real corpse that he took out of the grave, in order to bury his friend.
Seriously, boss or no boss, even if you needed the job, would anyone still be there at this stage??

He tries to raise the corpse from the dead (after arranging it nicely). When this doesn’t work he gets angry and announces he’ll be taking it back to the cabin with him. Once there a fake marriage is performed!!!!!!! And the corpse is fully involved in the conversation.
I particularly like the bit where, when someone finally can’t take it any longer and has a screaming fit, instead of putting it outside, or reburying it, he has it put into his bed.

I do like this film. I just enjoyed how it makes so little sense (and the characters hardly comment on this). I would have punched Alan very early on.
You just sit watching, lost in its special little world, its like a strange dream. Wonderful.
