May 15, 2014Sadly, The Undertaker was the last feature film to star the great Joe Spinell. It isn't a good movie. It was funny in a sort of unintentional way since the acting was so abysmal. The opening credits continually switched between a bunch of ladies working out and a purposefully pixelated rock concert. The concert had nothing to do with the plot, but the ladies did. Some of them got naked, and some of them didn't. One of them had an uncle (Joe Spinell) who was in the funeral business and business of late was not so good. So to drum up new business and to have fresh, young, female corpses to allegedly sleep with, he started killing young women. Not in the ultra creepy Maniac style, but in a more off-camera, boring style. Regardless, we push on because this is Joe Spinell's last feature film, right? Eventually the cops set their sites on Spinell and start investigating him. There really isn't a whole lot to talk about with this movie. The plot, acting, budget, and all other technical aspects are virtually non-existent, so we're left with only one reason to give this movie a second thought and I've already said it twice.
