Can't understand all these rave reviews. This was as bad as a movie gets - bad acting, stupid story, badly scripted, made no sense.It's like the writer had no understanding of biology at all.It sounded like such a good twist on the Frankenstein story that I felt I had to watch it. I think I could have written a better story. At least one that made some sense.I guess I've said enough. Big waste of time. Must be getting great reviews from the cast.It started out bad and never got better, just worse.Since I put in a spoiler alert, I'll give a brief synopsis. Lady scientist wants to reanimate life, buys a warehouse and while working at a morgue brings home dead bodies. Finally makes a man. Teaches him to eat, talk, play piano, dance and make love to her.Suddenly, for some reason, it turns out he can only eat live meat, so she starts feeding him live rats, then people she kills. Very gory and bloody in parts. I won't go any further. Very stupid ending.Not scary, just a total gore fest if you like that sort of thing.

CORPSING has blood and guts, but that's not the driving focus for this film. The characters have depth and dimension often not found in contemporary horror. Without giving too much away, I even found myself giggling a little as Thomas learned to use the stair master. CORPSING complicates the role of women and pushes the conventions and boundaries of the genre. Shelly, the leading female character, is even in control of telling the story. It's a far cry from the shrieking busty virgin or the moaning busty damsel in distress roles that 90's slasher flicks imposed. This film leads the audience to questions about masculinity, femininity, and sustainability in a fractured environment. CORPSING is a beautifully raw story with amazing casting. The dialogue is purposeful, natural, and concise. The soundtrack is pleasantly surprising and at times delicate. CORPSING is a re-watch must.

Corpsing is sort of a re-telling of Frankenstein, but with the genders reversed. The doctor falls in love with her monster. This isn't so much a horror film, as a dark and twisted love story. (Aren't those the best kind?) The aspect of the film I enjoyed most is the acting. The actors involved do a damn solid job of portraying flawed and interesting characters. The lead, Joanna Lowe, especially does a great job as the doctor. She's raw and exposed as someone deterring on the brink of insanity. Unlike the original Frankenstein where the doctor hates his creation, this doctor falls in love with hers. Initially it starts out as almost a master/pet type relationship, but grows into something far more insidious. Jeff Monahan does a great job as both Peter and Thomas. I actually didn't realize one actor was playing two separate characters until well into the film. That's a testament to the quality of the make up and the performances. The movie has with some minor audio issues, but that doesn't take away from the overall quality. Corpsing is a very solidly made movie and manages to create a very interesting and unique retelling of the Frankenstein story. It's a classic tale updated and with a twist.I also want to make note that the wardrobe was fantastic. James Reinhardt did a fantastic job and his efforts should be applauded. Enclosing, Corpsing is a fun and entertaining love story with a dark and sinister twist.

Corpsing: If the stories of Frankenstein and Pygmalion had a gory love child, this would be it. The movie is full of twists; they're smart, sexy, scary, and horrifying. When a brilliant but disgraced medical researcher tries to control – and make – life, endings become beginnings and the price of sustenance is steep. The "creepy" factor is huge. Corpsing presents a mix of "what if," gruesome needs, romance, and obsession that sets the stage for a frightening question: what constitutes life and who has a right to it? You'll never go bar hopping again after seeing Shelly at work. Get your own ride home. Don't make her angry. And stick around for the closing line.
