Bloody and irredeemably misanthropic.

More twee than any movie about serial murder has a right to be.

Too competent as a Fargo-esque indie murder comedy to dismiss (yet too dull to fully embrace), the Canadian Just Buried yields serviceable results from material that’s got rigor mortis.

Its ability to maintain such a pleasant facade in the midst of so much gruesomeness may be the creepiest thing about it.

Any episode of Six Feet Under had more sharp, mordant wit and freewheeling derangement than you'll find in Just Buried.

Has its wonky charms, but suffers from trying too hard to be quirky.

Blame the Brits for making this kind of morbid farce look easy...

Sometimes a big batch of small chuckles, a few strong performances and a quietly amusing concept are enough to keep a comedy afloat.
