But Zel has plenty of help in her work -- her house is also home to a family of ghosts who have lived there for centuries and speak to her about what's happening in the spirit realm. All is well in the lives of Zel and her spectral companions until a strange light appears in the woods, which proves to be a bizarre trap that catches the ghosts and won't let them go. Zel isn't sure what to do, but can't see how she can let down her most trusted friends in their hour of need. All My Friends Are Funeral Singers was written and directed by Tim Rutilli of the experimental post-rock group Califone, and the rest of the members of the band appear in the film and helped Rutilli compose and perform the soundtrack. The film was an official selection at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Written and directed by Tim Rutili, this bizarrely captivating film features a wealth of original music from his critically acclaimed post-rock band Califone.

    My Thoughts: "I honestly just didn't like this movie. I couldn't get into it or care to finish it, although I did. The film does nothing and goes nowhere. It's more of an artsy piece of film, usually I like them, but not this one. I just couldn't wait for it to be over with. I kept waiting for something important or substantial to take place but it never did. I just felt lost and confused. I didn't like the music either. Just very boring."
