Ed Wood tosh

Notwithstanding the fact that as a piece of cinema, Necromania is pure garbage, and the fact that every single technical aspect of it is purely amateurish, I must admit that I have a certain liking for the film.

Maybe it's Rene Bond, maybe Maria Arnoff, maybe it's simply the fact that as bad as they might be, I just can never hate an Ed Wood film, but this piece of trash has grown on me over the years to the point where I don't even mind its mindlessness.

The narrative is slow, the acting dreadful, and the direction is non-existent, but it's still a wonderful curiosity of a picture that should be made as required viewing for both horror and exploitation aficionados.
