Pizza Man vs. the Dude

Not a bad no-budget feature that picks up in the last act; a new spin on the '80's horror genre. Steve Merrill plays the Pizza Man, who is having one of the worst days ever: his co-workers dog on him, the girl he likes thinks he's too old, his car is moments away from breaking down - only dogs and ducks seem to be able to see Pizza Man's true nature. Intercut with the Pizza Man's story is that of entrepreneur Simon Tyler, who has bought an warehouse with the intent to turn it into a hip nightclub. Holding an all-night "energy party" with his new employees - a dj, an aclu lobbyist/stripper, a goth artistic designer, a professional bouncer/security engineer, and his personal assistant - the group manages to invoke the Romanian gypsy curse of Thed Ude.

All-in-all, this is your standard campy horror movie with a few twists (noteably: a tango sequence).

Saw the movie at the premiere in Boise. A fun independent film that has everything that an indie horror flick needs... blood, blood, blood, and more blood. I hope these guys keep making films, cause this one was just too much fun!

There is nothing new in this film, it is almost perfectly cliché in structure. It is obvious that the writer worked really hard to make sure that it was perfectly campy, complete with one-liners and side-shot hatchet work. He succeeded brilliantly!

Remindeds me a lot of the earliest Troma films, aren't the early ones always the best!?!?! Can't wait till the DVD goes on sale so I can add it to my collection.
