More macabre than scary, but the murders and overall concept of a corpse exacting sadistic revenge from beyond the grave may be disturbing to some viewers.
Almost all of the characters are depicted as selfish, ignorant or outright contemptible. There are almost no sympathetic characters in the film.
The theme of death hangs over the entire film.
Many scenes set in a fog covered cemetery. A running joke involves the mounting number of tombstones as characters are bumped off throughout the film.
Charles Addams-style "Grand Guignol" humor throughout.
