Consensus: Lost Skeleton is clever at spoofing B-movies, but the joke isn't sustainable for its running time.
Theatrical Release:Feb 6, 2004 Limited
Synopsis: It's 1961 and Dr. Paul Armstrong (Larry Blamire) and his lovely wife Betty (Fay Masterson) head into the mountains in search of a recently fallen meteor containing the rare element atmosphereum.... It's 1961 and Dr. Paul Armstrong (Larry Blamire) and his lovely wife Betty (Fay Masterson) head into the mountains in search of a recently fallen meteor containing the rare element atmosphereum. Paul needs it to help him with his science work, but Betty'd just as soon have a vacation. Also in the area, sinister Dr. Roger Fleming (Brian Howe) asks trusty Ranger Brad (Dan Conroy) the whereabouts of Cadavra Cave, mysterious home to rumors of a legend of the Lost Skeleton." That night, both parties witness what appears to be yet another meteor falling. Immediately after, a local farmer is killed by a horrible, unseen thing. Is there a connection? Indeed there is. The second meteor is actually a disabled alien spaceship with a strange couple from the planet Marva, Krobar (Andrew Parks) and Lattis (Susan McConnell). These aliens discover they also need Atmosphereum to power their really high tech ship, and notice their horrible pet mutant (Darrin Reed), which they travel around with for some reason, has escaped. Unfortunately, Dr. Fleming discovers he also needs the atmosphereum to bring to life the dreaded Lost Skeleton of Cadavra which he finds in the cave. After the aliens disguise themselves as earth people with the aid of their "transmutatron", Dr. Fleming swipes it and morphs four different forest animals into his own ally - the beautiful cat-suited Animala (Jennifer Blaire). Now everyone's after the atmosphereum and the Armstrongs find they have their hands full, capturing the mutant, stopping the evil scientist, and vanquishing the power-mad Skeleton who wants to rule the world.

Reviews for The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra
The film is legitimately funny, with deliberately arch performances, purposefully bad dialog, consciously skewed continuity and intentionally inept special effects.
a very bad movie in the style of those Ed Wood-era, This Island Earth-style, classic schlock horror flicks ... pure comedy gold.
When I saw it on the big screen, it was almost painful to sit through. I must admit, it's much more tolerable on DVD.
The film's redundant dialog and laughable special effects are only humorous for so long.
SCREAM! With laughter as you sit through one of the funniest tributes to the 1950's sci-fi films from the past few years.
