What to Know

Critics Consensus

Lost Skeleton is clever at spoofing B-movies, but the joke isn't sustainable for its running time.

Nick Schager Lessons of Darkness A bland inside joke for genre aficionados. Rated: C May 4, 2005 Full Review Adam Nayman eye WEEKLY In a way, this failure is a product of its success: so adept is Blamire's backhanded homage that it results in a film every bit as gruelling as its antecedents. Rated: 2.5/5 Apr 9, 2004 Full Review Michael Booth Denver Post It's all great fun, and Blamire has at least as promising a future as all this dot.com nonsense. Rated: 3/4 Apr 9, 2004 Full Review Allen Almachar The MacGuffin One heck of a good time. Aug 14, 2020 Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens An independent production written, produced, directed and starring Larry Blamire.... Now this is a movie. Nov 14, 2019 Full Review Kelly Vance East Bay Express Obey the skeleton. Forget all about Mesa of Lost Women. This is the one you've been looking for. May 5, 2010 Full Review Read all reviews

Craig G Brilliant parody of 1950s sci-fi movies. At first you think, "Yeah... it's ok." Then you find yourself quoting it for months afterward. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/30/24 Full Review Stephen C Masterpiece. The dialogue is bizarre, and the cast pulls it off in all of the movies done by Larry Blemire. Great vintage parody, but the hilarious dialogue really makes it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Very entertaining. A tribute to classic movies Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review d d Schlocky perfection. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member The quintessential perfect movie! Larry Blamire's period piece so perfectly captures the feel of those poorly made B-movies of the 50s. Well deserving of it's cult status among fans. If you've never seen it, find it... then check your brain at the door before viewing. =) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Obvious sci-fi satire is obvious.
