Though Cadaver isn't the worst post-apocalyptic horror movie in the genre, it lacked depth and failed to bring anything new to the table. The performances are meritable, but that's about the only upside to this typical gory, violent horror.

Ghost Lab was moderately entertaining for some viewers who thought the premise was interesting and offered something new to the paranormal genre.
