Vicious Fun

Of black horror comedies this is a must see, it has it all, even a story, but most of all seen from a serious angle it has a solid screenplay and extremely well chosen caracter actors for this movie. The plot is, taken outta loose air, a story about a journalist, a serial killer huntress, and a wacked out archtyypical police force, and of course the serial k i l l e r s . Keywords to the flick is revenge, extinction and deepdigging critical journalism.

I did sit down to view this choosin between retiring for the night, i.e. Go to bed, or try this out, and i do not regret that because its most of all a fun movie, even though it might bend the limits of a laymans gore tolerance, because the blood and meat factor, and dismantelment of unwillingly hudlums and coppers might make you laugh out loud in disbelief, due to a plotspeed and swift acting and oralistic vocabulary that beats mostly every oratorium ever written on this god forsaken place called earth.

Its a well made technical production, even the dark scenes work, and the thy shall whither moral, till your dust is blown away stoic attitude written all over the sir face of the sound, specialeffects, visual effects, cinematographical and location decorating department, and if you ever should wonder what might be used to make a kill, youll get some new items on your list thats for sure.

So take the grumpy old mans words for what they seem to be, its not a toddlers nor infant movie to watch, and it may even be intolerable on cruelty for the gemene john and jane does , but give it a try, thisll become a cult classic for what it is, fun , cruel and ravaging revengeful.

Since the meta slasher is becoming it's own trope, films now need to find inventive ways to play around within even that framework. Vicious Fun is up for the challenge, bringing to the table the unique idea of a normal teen stuck at a serial killer AA meeting. This gives us the opportunity to sift through several slasher archetypes in a less than familiar setting.

Unfortunately, the film squanders it's clever concept by delegating that meeting to one sequence, then moving swiftly past it while there was still untapped potential for comedic fodder. As is often the downfall of the meta-slasher, it too soon devolves into being a genuine slasher with much the run-time taken up by "Ahhh! Run! He's coming to get me!" moments.

Evan Marsh hams it up a little too much and many of his punchlines fall flat, but Amber Goldfarb could give Samara Weaving a run for her money the next time a film needs a badass heroin.

The film never takes itself too seriously, and the 80s nods are occasionally endearing, which can make for an enjoyable watch if your expectations aren't too high.

.. If you're craving a modern movie where a woman is the hero and saves some dorky guy who makes snarky jokes while the bass wobbles in and out synth-like, and the lighting ascetics look like my living room; then this is the movie for you.

I can just say , that it is a wonderful dark ,funny , gory , smart horror/comedy ! The old-fashioned soundtrack adds nicely to overall 80-s set up . Definitely recommended!!!

Thankfully this is one of those present era movies where a movie is a movie and not some social commentary in or PC nonsense which most movie makers these days are opting for to be in trend.

This is an homage to 80's horror, a bit funny, different story and the cast delivered as well. It has some good gore not too excess and few laughs for people who enjoy horror or thrillers with a dash of creativity.

Enjoy and don't be too harsh , keep making such movies with good looking cast in the future as well.
