In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.

A Bucket of Blood (1959)
An American horror by Roger Corman.
A bus boy at a hip coffee house makes statues out of corpses by covering them in clay and presents them as art.
The plot and characters were good and I actually liked the film. The style was very clear and the production value decent for it's time. I liked the whole "beatnik scene people" cast because it fit the plot very well. This film is coherent, cohesive and runs smoothly. The only thing wrong is that the title is incorrect. There is no blood shown in the film. Despite that defect, I'm rating it good.
