Good

A very good film. Saw this in the local cinema. I didn't know what to expect but it was very interesting. Described as a dark film noir thriller. Certainly the quality of the film is film noir. It's set in a Northern town in England in the 1960's, very much reminiscent of those kitchen sink dramas of the time. An Undertaker (Paul McGann) is presented with an offer he can't refuse by the town gangster (Roger Barclay). The film descends into a killing spree with someone's final demise. The acting is great, really string performances particularly from Tara Fitzgerald as the gangsters moll. Cameos by Nick Rowe and Sean Gilder bring a strong quality to the work. Michael Wrights direction is good although the story is repetitive at times. The whole feeling is claustrophobic and dystopian. Some ingenious use of sets makes this a very unique film harking back to the classic British cinema of the late50s early 60's I liked it but I'm not sure I'd watch it again.

Paul McGann

Watched this at premiere in Bristol. Went because big Dr Who fan and Paul McGann. Enjoyed the film, cool looking and atmospheric. Acting was good. It was a bit slow but kept my interest. They made the sets with models which was amazing. It's set in 1960's and the film was stylish and dark has a supernatural element which I wanted more of, all filmed in Bristol at Bottleyarde Studios which has produced lots of UK tv. Also last performance of Murray Melvin, who was in lots of cult films, Barry Lyndon etc. I would recommend seeing it as it's unlike most things you get on tv. All in all a good film.

Sedate, ethereally stylish, 1950s-based Brit dramatic-thriller that la ka bite in its punch

In gentle, stylish, 1950s-based British dramatic-thriller "The Undertaker" quietly professional titular Manchester undertaker Paul McGann is pressured by local mobster Roger Barclay to discretely dispose of dead bodies... despite the concern of the likes of Tara Fitzgerald & Lily Frazer, and the interest of copper Sean Gilder. Michael Wright's debut as director is excellent, eliciting terrific performances while shooting in a striking, original, ethereal manner... but the screenplay (his second) doesn't match that level, being TOO sedate before failing to deliver the necessary bite in its final punch. It's an engaging, good-looking film - but one that ultimately comes up short.
