THE CORPSE (2002)

Come, and let us take a walk into the dark side of the human psyche. Into the world where the dead still walk through our dreams.
Welcome to the world of The Corpse.
In a small-town funeral home, funeral director Harris Johanis is still haunted by the accidental death of his wife Beverly, who blew off the side of her face in a firearm accident.
So haunted, in fact, that he keeps her preserved corpse on the bed in his office. And yes, he does still think she is still alive. Wanting to satisfy his sexual needs, he prepares to make love to his wife when he is interrupted by some visitors to his business.
Will they too wind up taking an eternal dirt nap?

Behind The Scenes:

"The Corpse" is fondly remembered by Scott as his most successful film to date.
"This film actually had some festival play, and probably the biggest audience I've ever had." says Scott, talking about the May 2003 release of the film, nearly a year after filming was completed. "Like 'Mr. Irish', I still see articles and comments about it all these years later. Granted, unlike the Irish film, most of the comments for this one were on the positive side. My goal was to make a grimy throwback to the sleazy horror films of the 1970's, and this one pretty much did the job. Not too explicit in the terms of sex, but we did have a few gory instances. A decent job all around."
