KEY MOMENTS

Opening chaos – Jo introduces Charlotte as the “London correspondent” who attended the press screening.
Scratch-and-sniff cinema – The wild theatre gimmick where audiences smelled scenes during the movie.
The play-style filmmaking – Charlotte explains how the movie feels like a stage play adapted to film with minimal sets and four actors.
The weird love story – A grieving gravedigger tries to resurrect her drowned lover through bizarre experiments… including growing a finger.
Jo’s big take – If your “weirdo-meter” likes films like Fried Barry, this one might be your jam.
The theatre question – Charlotte debates whether the film works better as a cinema experience or a quirky late-night TV watch.
Theme kicker – A low-budget, eccentric indie that proves creativity can carry a film even when the resources are tiny.

Dead Lover will be available in UK Cinemas (in glorious STINK-O-VISION!) from 20th March

A lonely gravedigger who stinks of corpses finally meets her dream man, but their whirlwind affair is cut short when he tragically drowns at sea. Grief-stricken, she goes to morbid lengths to resurrect him through madcap experiments.
