So many questions that need to be asked regarding this post.

The Bone Yard (1991)

Directed by James Cummins, perhaps most famous for being one of the main make-up artists on The Thing, The Boneyard (as it appears on the opening credits) follows a couple of policemen who, along with the medical examiner, are confused by the mummied corpses of three children in the local morgue, affectionately known as the titular boneyard.

In an effort to solve what seems like an unsolvable puzzle, they enlist the help of Alley, a woman with an uncanny ability to mentally 'see' images and events from objects she holds. When the ME, who has quarantined himself with the corpses, agrees to send a hair sample upstairs from the morgue to the ground floor of the police station, Alley thinks the children are not young humans, but demons created during a black magic ritual in ancient China.

After a first half which is very heavy on exposition and includes scenes are the two cops talking at length in a corridor, the second half turns into a funny and involving a zombie (I use the term advisedly) movie with great use of atmosphere, some good shocks and model work which is similar to that seen in The Evil Dead and Braindead. It's probably best that I don't say any more in case you want to buy the 88 Films Blu-ray and watch it without knowing any major plot details, but any film which involves very creepy zombie children, a massive zombie dog which wouldn't have looked out of place in Killer Klowns from Outer Space, and even an innovative use of a fork lift truck.

It's no zombie classic and certainly isn't as funny or self-referential as the films mentioned above or something like Re-Animator, but I thought it was, particularly in the last act, great fun and I'm watching it now with the commentary by James Cummins and producer Richard F. Brophy.

Whatever Happened To Monday (2017, Tommy Wirkola)
Modern scifi can fall into two camps I find ... intelligent stuff like Equals and Ex Machina or popcorn like Gravity and Oblivion. This is just camp . Seen Orphan Black? Well Tommy thought he could do better. It's up to you to decide as I got rather bored with this admittedly decent premise ... something in the execution faltered for me ... ho hum.

The Dead One (1961)

In New Orleans a businessman and his estranged cousin who performs voodoo rituals, wrestle to gain control of the family plantation.

An American regional production, one of the first zombie films to be filmed in colour. The Dead One can't ever be described as scary or indeed horrific - there are far too many rambling scenes of bands playing in Bourbon Street clubs to create much of an atmosphere, in fact i think there's about twenty minutes of this sort of stuff throughout the films meagre 68 minute run time - but the ritual scenes and the shuffling, rotting zombie remain quite effective.

For a once thought lost and very obscure film the print is in good condition, but i can only really recommend this as a curiosity rather than a must-see early zombie film.

Can't fault your review D ... as that's what it is ... an oddity worth seeing the once (imo )
