Vicious Fun

A top notch entry into the horror-comedy genre. A hapless, nerdy horror film critic stumbles upon a self-help meeting for serial killers and gets into it up to his neck, learns to fight back. The characters are so likeable, especially. Evan Marsh as Joel and. Amber Goldfarb as Carrie--but shout outs to the whole cast, this cast was unflawed! The script was fantastic, the gore was splashy and fun, expertly directed! Not a wasted minute! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

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.

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!!!

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.

Vicious Fun, that's exactly what this movie was, so the title couldn't be more perfect. The cast was very well chosen for playing the different characters. My favorite characters in Vicious Fun were played brilliantly by Evan Marsh and Ari Millen. Evan Marsh was the funniest one in my opinion. The story is a bit weird, but the good kind of weird. Nice slashing scenes as well, so if you're looking for a bit of fun and slashing you can't go wrong with this movie.
