Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

This 60's horror comedy is very much in the mould of the pioneering gore flicks made by Herschell Gordon Lewis. It shares the specific combination of schlocky, excessive bloodletting with wacky humour. It's this strange and often totally inappropriate combination that gives this flick some enduring cult film appeal. It opens pretty strikingly with three psychopaths in motorcycle clobber conducting a home invasion where they violently kill a young woman and then proceed to take her severed leg away with them. This opening scene gives you a pretty good indication of the tone of the film as a whole though, as while the basic idea is pretty mean spirited it is offset by the picture of the girl's boyfriend changing continually as he registers his shock at events being carried out in front of him in a series of increasingly zany expressions. In other words, like the films of Lewis, the excessive violence can't really be taken very seriously when the tone is so wilfully ridiculous.The three biker maniacs do make for quite interesting villains though. And the decidedly sick subject matter of serial murder and cannibalism is pleasingly tasteless. There are limb decapitations, an impaling, a victim being dipped into a vat of acid, body parts being fed into a meat grinder, a chain whipping, a meat cleaver to the head and a woman having her innards
fondled; the latter scene is the grimmest moment on offer as it splices in actual open heart surgery! Throughout all this mayhem there is a fairly high quotient of pure nonsense. You just know that a slapstick scene or silly jape can never be very far away, often involving skateboards, pies to the face and comedy sound effects. The combined result is a film of considerable camp value. It also has the good manners to only clock in at just over an hour, so it hardly outstays its welcome. For anyone interested in the early genesis of the gore film, I would say that this crazy flick is a must.

Now don't get me wrong. There are amazing big budget movies obviously. There's nothing wrong with only liking well produced movies. But, if you can't appreciate this movie for what it is, your not a fan of cinema (in general). Your probably more of a fan of well produced cinema. There's really nothing wrong with this movie. It doesn't pretend to be anything that it isn't. It's a bad, low budget, goofy slasher flick. At times it is actually funny (in my opinion) like towards the end when the undertaker is chasing "Thursday" up the same staircase over and over again. And this movie is pretty brutal and graphic for its time. Like the live surgery scene. My final thought is, if you rate this movie less than 5 stars or consider it "a waste of life and time" why did you watch it in the first place? You knew what you were getting into. Stick to the matrix or avatar or whatever your really are into and quit wining about the crappy movie that no one forced you to watch.

This movie is awesome. i love old school cinema. i love the absolute cheesiness of this film and how it is proud to flaunt it with no shame at all. My only problem with this movie is i wish it was a little longer. if it were an hour and a half instead of just over an hour they could have added some more gore or some extended funeral home scenes which were really funny in a really mean way. i also found it amusing how two of the girls who were killed and cooked up at the diner happened to have the last names "lamb" and "poultry". I know a lot of you are going to rip on this movie and its too bad cause i find it to be a really unique film for its time or any other time for that matter.give it a shot. if you like it you do and if you don't then you don't.

The Undertaker And His Pal's is a short & sweet, light-hearted, dark-humored, 60's gore film that actually turns out to be more entertaining than most from this era, although, it ain't no 2000 Maniacs, and it can be a bit overly silly at times, so we're not talking about a "10" here or anything, but it is uniquely cartoonish, and there is more than enough entertainment to go around, as a smug, overcharging Undertaker and two restaurant owners cut corners by going out on the town at night and killing people. The greasy-spoon boys have plenty of free meat to serve the (not so) unsuspecting customers and Mr. Taker charges the grieving families an arm and a leg for a half-ass burial. Certainly not the all-time greatest gore film out there, but like I said, it gets much worse than the taker. The "gore" is mostly stock footage, nothing impressive on that side of the fence , but the bottom line is, The Undertaker And His Pals is just plain fun, which, ultimately, is what matters most in Exploitation Country. Besides not being at all boring, The Undertaker And His Pals doesn't wear out its welcome at a running time at just over an hour. Even that little bird-man from The Corpse Grinders makes a cameo, so you know you're in for a treat this time. For something else that obviously belongs in the Something Weird Video catalog but isn't, check out Sometimes Aunt Martha Does Dreadful Things, and for more in humorous restaurant exploitation, check out Poultrygeist: Night Of The Chicken Dead. As for the taker, I would recommend to anyone who even remotely digs the B-entertainment. 8/10
