A scientist (Larry Blamire) and his wife (Fay Masterson) race against a rival (Brian Howe) and aliens for possession of a mineral from a meteorite.

Critics Consensus

Lost Skeleton is clever at spoofing B-movies, but the joke isn't sustainable for its running time.

C

A bland inside joke for genre aficionados.

2.5/5

In a way, this failure is a product of its success: so adept is Blamire's backhanded homage that it results in a film every bit as gruelling as its antecedents.

It's all great fun, and Blamire has at least as promising a future as all this dot.com nonsense.

An independent production written, produced, directed and starring Larry Blamire.... Now this is a movie.

Obey the skeleton. Forget all about Mesa of Lost Women. This is the one you've been looking for.

The quintessential perfect movie! Larry Blamire's period piece so perfectly captures the feel of those poorly made B-movies of the 50s. Well deserving of it's cult status among fans. If you've never seen it, find it... then check your brain at the door before viewing. =)

Obvious sci-fi satire is obvious.

What a hoot! A great spoof of those campy b-movies from the 50s. Everyone looks like they are having a ball. Not for everyone, but if you like spoofs and satire you'll love it! Meow.

A clever little spoof of 50's sci-fi movies that relies on a clever script and an understanding of old B movies. Runs out of steam before the end, but there's still a lot to like.
