OMG... We're in a Horror Movie

I feel a little bit sad that someone said they fell asleep watching this movie. I honestly thought it was great fun. I wouldn't say it was the best, but it's just really funny. I like that they give into every single cliche - going to the cabin in the woods to escape the killer. It's very predictable but just has some really great laughs along the way.

I like to watch films that go straight to dvd because you find some really great ones and this is that. It doesn't take itself seriously and is just really funny. The acting isn't amazing, but I can deal with that. Sometimes you have to be open minded with movies.

If you're a fan of the horror genre you will definitely get a kick out of this movie. The script is tight and the laughs keep coming. I've seen it 3 times now and still catch new jokes I missed the previous times. If you enjoy quirky satires of your favorite movies and want proof that there are fun movies being made with shoestring budgets... then this movie has all you need! I'm excited to see what this cast does next. Give It A Watch! I have to write 10 lines to make a review post-able and honestly can't do that without giving something away. Go watch this film. Rent it! Give them your money so they can make something else. Too few original projects are being made. This movie may parody others but its an original work made to entertain.

The story Bandele gives us is a great conceptual romp with some awesome potential. Unfortunately the originality and creativity gets lost among overused and played out situations and gimmicks. Most of what "OMG! We're In A Horror Movie" offers can be seen in other horror comedies with better results. This film misses on the funny on many levels. Don't get me wrong, the movie has some softer moments of entertainment and genuinely funny moments, just not enough to sustain the entire film.

The acting and cinematography are great. The cast are committed to the characters, and some cast give quick, witty performances of a well-written script. Most of what fails "OMG! We're In A Horror Movie" is that pesky lack of originality and loss of humor due to poor comedic timing. Ajala Bandele does hit the mark on some of his direction he takes with the film, the atmosphere and quick report between the characters keep the scenes moving nicely.

Overall "OMG! We're In A Horror Movie" fails simply due to a lack of creative and original story design. Mostly missed opportunity with more developed kill scenes, and spoofier dramatics that could have been amped up a bit more. The musical score was a bright spot, so was the actual characters themselves. But the slasher Comedy has been done over and over and better. Watch with an understanding that there isn't a lot happening in "OMG! We're In A Horror Movie" that is entertaining.

I know nothing about the people who made this movie but they strike me as a bunch of nerdy friends who:

* Are so comfortable with each other that they are able to make uncomfortable/puerile jokes targeting each other on film.

* Wanted to make a movie that showcases their geekdoms (board games, horror tropes).

That's all a guess on my part though.

Anyway, this isn't a high production value thriller but if you have ever been in a long-running tabletop role playing or board gaming group, this is the movie you might have made with your friends (assuming that your group was sufficiently nerdy, diverse, and potty-humored).

Movie is fine.

I still haven't cracked a smile....Pretty stupid so far.
