Terror Toons

I seem to have had the exact opposite reaction to the movie. I knew that I wasn't renting "Schindler's List" when I picked it up, and the movie didn't disappoint. While there are plenty of rough edges to the movie, it was inventive enough for me to keep my hands off the scan button and watch it. People looking for a little no-brainer diversion might want to check it out.

Terror Toons, starring porn icon Lizzie Borden and Beverly Lynne, has a bad porn feel to it, only without the titillating sex and nudity. And cohesive plot.

Candy and Cindy are sisters left home for the night when their dad and "mom" leave for a wedding. Cindy receives a DVD called Terror Toons, which unleashes supposed cartoon characters Dr. Carnage and Max Assassin.

I'll give Beverly Lynne and Kelly Liu credit, they at least try to do a halfway decent job, but they are let down by their director and the special effects department. Joe Castro doesn't so much film as he just happens to keep a camera in the room as his story unfolds. The special effects would be laughable if they weren't so nauseating...not nauseating in the sense of "ooh, brains" but in the sense of "ooh, special effects goop."

It took one person to come up with the story, and three to come up with the script. What exactly took three people? The tired cartoon characters running through doors in a hallway? The cop who likes donuts? Strip Ouija?

This is a horrible, hateful little movie that will make you wonder about humanity's capacity to come together and put together something so unbelievably awfully. Stay away from it.

Yes, "Terror Toons" is no "I Know What You Did Last Summer". In my opinion, the more power to that. Those who made "Terror Toons" were definitely doing a guerrilla thing, regardless of how the movie turned out. A lot of people would probably see this as one of the most inane horror videos out there. They're right, but "Terror Toons" was meant to be this way. It's a goofy cartoon show mixed, in my opinion, very well with the splatter-comedy genre. First of all, the gore FX were extremely bad. If the filmmakers would have been given a huge budget, would they have been a lot more believable? Yes, and, considering many of the z-grade films I've seen that were shot ON FILM, I can honestly tell you that I have seen gore FX a lot worse than those displayed in "Terror Toons". As for the cheap computer animation, I don't think they could have done any better on a bigger budget. In fact, with a bigger budget, the better computer graphics could only have made the film less enjoyable. My reason for saying this is this movie was (to me, anyway) very obviously meant to convey a cartoonish feel. Do you think when Tex Avery did his stuff he worried about how realistic it looked? "Terror Toons" was not meant to wow anyone, I'm sure, but it was ambitious and was done a lot better than it could have been. I understand that part of being a critic is criticizing, but one thing I feel I learned early on is that there is a difference between worthless crap and when someone was at least trying to do something nifty and put their heart into it. In order for one to truly appreciate movies like "Terror Toons", one needs to take into consideration, in addition to this, the simple fact of what they did right. I love "Terror Toons" and found it to be an entertaining surprise. For open-minded cheezy-horror fans, I would recommend this with, at the very least, a nine on a scale of ten.

Obviously this movie is for people with good, dark senses of humor and I think most of the people who say that this movie is bad is because they're either artsy college kids who look at movies seriously(you know, the kids that think that foreign films are genius, just because they're in foreign.) or they have no humor about what you can do in a movie(these are more the kind of people who make fun of things that they don't get so that they don't look stupid.) But, if you like GWAR shows and Troma films, than this movie is for you.

WOw, this movie sucks. I rented it knowing it was gonna suck but I had no idea it would be this bad... From the opening scene, you know this is gonna suck. The opening scene is fake, funny, stupid, horrible all at the same time. I find it funny how horrible this film is, yet it is very entertaining. The gore is alright, not all of it looks as fake as it does in the first scene, some of it looks okay. Most of the special effects are bad, but not all of it. Some very fake CGI in here, and the Terror Toons don't look like cartoons. The kills are okay, some of them funny, some of them just...bad. I still find it entertaining, I really enjoy this movie. Must see for any fans of really, really BAD movies!
