"A Chronicle Of Corpses" is Andrew Repasky McElhinney's lushly detailed, early nineteenth century horror tale, concerning the last days of family of once-wealthy aristocrats. The film is an elegiac thriller examining love, doubt and devotion in a bleak world of terror.

Shot on historic locations in Philadelphia, the film recreates a more civilized, bygone epoch complete with foreboding undercurrents that strike alarmingly contemporary chords.

"Here's a real UFO, an extremely low-budget, genuinely independent film by a 22-year-old writer-director from Philadelphia that immediately establishes a distinctive and promising voice. "A Chronicle of Corpses" belongs to the small but significant tradition of outsider art in American movies - films like Herk Harvey's "Carnival of Souls" or George Romero's "Night of the Living Dead" - that reflect powerful personalities formed outside any academic or professional tradition. That most of these are horror films is no coincidence; they are the films that haunt American cinema, pointing to paths that were never taken, to doors that remain firmly closed." - Dave Kehr,New York Times
