Just Buried

Synopsis
While some inherit fortunes, Oliver inherits a funeral home--a failing funeral home at that. No one in town in dying. So in order to drum up business, the young business owner embarks on a second career as a serial killer. The laughs come dark in this indie comedy starring Jay Baruchel and Rose Byrne.

Distributor Notes
Oliver (Jay Baruchel - Tropic Thunder) is destined for an uneventful life until the day he and his brother Jackie breeze into town to attend the funeral of their estranged father. To everyone's bewilderment, Oliver inherits his father's estate - a funeral home. Oliver learns from the handyman Henry (Graham Greene) that the home is on the verge of bankruptcy. That night, his life gets increasingly complicated when he takes a drunken drive with the bewitching enbalmer Roberta (Rose Byrne-Damages) and collides with a hiker. Roberta cleverly disguises the fatality as an accident, providing Oliver with his first paying customer and launching the duo into a merciless killing spree that evolves from accidental to intentional.

Reviews
"[T]he film's real standouts are Graham Greene, deadpan bit-parter par excellence, and Christopher Shore....Darren Fung's prominent score lends pic a sense of ironic cheerfulness." (Variety)
