Yep, this is light & weak parody movie. You will nothing gain (or loose) watching (or not) this.

I cannot figure out why I found this so entertaining. The acting is hammy, the story is lame, except for some adult themes it reminds me of a live action Saturday morning kiddie show. But it was more fun than a lot of what's on TV these days.

HEY EVERBODY ITS ME, (4) and today we review ..... what happens when i get in the gym ....the movie !!!!!!!!!!

Wow what a surprise ......great little film here ... a horror comedy creature feature that delivers a solid amount of both comedy and horror elements in even amounts .... few films pull that off well but this happens to be one that does a decent job of that ...... so GOOD JOB ....

the usual garbage is solid, lighting, FX, all that technical mumbo jumbo is good ... the acting is good ......i enjoyed seeing a well balanced cast of people i knew .... frank the bunny is in here .... johnny knoxville .... lo pan ....the dad from jeepers creepers 2 .... and even the chick from police academy .....i mean this film had everyone in it .........

the story line was a good break away from the usual formula of kids + cabin = dead plot ... so here we have film producers + hollywood people + magict cream = dead lol.... but indeed a good break away from the usual story , it delves into the concept of how humans are monsters and how fame and fortune brings out the worst in everyone LITERALLY !!!!!!! ....

they did a good job with character development without really slowing down the pacing, introducing plot points like the dudes wife ....and her character half way in BUT her tiny moment of introduction was enough to know instantly how it was with those 2 and from there ...YUP ... LOL "and imma order beans" ....jesus christ .....okay ... this movie .... was funny ..... it wasnt non stop side splitting comedy BUT it wasnt meant to be ...it funny parts were well timed and well placed, its a hybrid of horror ....and it had its REALLY good moments of blood and guts as well .... the FX were really well done ... the monsters looked really good ...

like great horror comedies in the vein of "Shuan of the dead" this one is again, well balanced 100% worth the watch and 100% worth the score ....

9.5/10.

Worst horror movie of the year, but the way theyve overdone their task of gruelling gore blood and horror ,amplifies everything else about this film, because the comedy is beaming through the ointment of hell.'

so if you can collaborate with a terrible story, bad special effects, and a very ironicly angeled gorehorrorcomedy its a recommend, i had a few laughs and thats usually a sign of clever devious filmaking. there aint much else to say that its a bad acted, bad story that has a fortunate outycome in the end.

so its a cultclassic for the nerds, thinks the grumpy old man

After his controversial star goes missing, a down-on-his-luck producer inadvertently kills the star he's trying to court for his latest movie, and in the rash to correct his mistake hires a look-a-like to replace him, but the clean-up process to complete the ruse turns him into a shape-shifting monster and must now save his film.

This was a highly enjoyable horror/comedy. What really works great here is the comedy in the setup where it builds the exasperated nature of his work and career that sells the desperation of the situation. The absolutely cheesy beginning where it focuses on the plight of the producer to get the movie going and deal with his disgruntled and controversial star who has all the hallmarks of a spoiled movie star which is quite funny. The accident and resulting need to keep it hidden from the studio bigwigs in charge are also genuinely funny which gives the first half a rather fun light-hearted tone that's immensely appealing and immersive. That also manages to work quite well with the start of the horror elements being introduced. The transformation effects are appropriately given a stylish werewolf-style addition to the mythology where the change occurs and he runs wild on the crew attacking the make-up artists and savagely pulling them apart before running off into the night. The ways in which it spreads throughout the industry with their inadvertent use of the special cream which causes them to become one is a fine touch, and the look of the best itself is a fine one giving off a rather vicious practical look. These help to hold the film up for the most part while there are some issues with this one. One of the main faults is where most horror/comedies fail in that the comedy doesn't always work for the film. So much of the goofiness and slapstick comes across as highly suspect in terms of actually being funny that most of them could've been removed without much change at all, resulting in several moments where it's a huge struggle to get through because the comedy is so bad. The exasperation and frustration that comes about with trying to hide everything are far more impressive and genuinely funny, making the comedy rather hit-or-miss. The other issue is the seemingly underwhelming finale that could've been fun but just seems odd and weird. From the haphazard race to get the antidote to the afflicted member at the party, the bizarre interruption to provide closure for their own needs yet surprisingly comes off with no motivation and a lame resolution and the halfway decent brawl between the monsters is undone when it's realized that this is really the clearest look at the design all film long. A series of tacked-on epilogues for most of the individuals go nowhere and could've been trimmed out altogether, mostly leaving this one somewhat cold at the end.
