The Funhouse Massacre

This movie had a few decent actors in it and that helped I guess. This movie was trying to be funny and it worked in a few scenes, but the movie barely had a plot or a motive on why everything happened unless I missed that part. Don't waste your time on this garbage.

No pun intended - the movie has its moments I reckon. Some of them include special effects - and while it may be lazy at a few points (just bodies hitting the floor or body parts being detached in similar ways) ... considering this is a low budget movie should give you pause and make you rethink any criticism of that sort.

That all said, the acting is not really the best the movie has to offer. Which might be a strange thing to say if you look at the cast list ... but what people do for a paycheck .. still this is low budget, it is horror, if both those things feel like the right thing for you ... well you could do wrong for sure.

Seen worse but also better movies - at least this does not take prisoners ... quite literally too ...

How could anyone resist a title like 'The Funhouse Massacre'? Often films like this with an intriguing title turn out to be absolute duds, that can't come close to living up to their name. 'The Funhouse Massacre' is one of the better efforts I've seen at actually achieving it. For an almost unheard of film the quality is surprisingly high. Director Andy Palmer delivers a very high quality product. The camera-angles are smooth, the violence is plentiful and well-executed and the acting is of an above average standard - particularly for the horror genre.

Mixing comedy with horror is becoming more and more common, as the horror movie genre itself sadly becomes increasingly stale. I personally don't love the mix and feel it takes away any tension the movie is trying to create. 'The Funhouse Massacre' has a heavy element of comedy to it. It's done reasonably well for the most part and there are actually a few genuine laughs here and there. Did the film need it though? I'm undecided on this. On one hand it's trying to say it doesn't want to take itself too seriously, but on the other hand it's actually good enough that it could have worked as pure horror. Some will love it and others will find it ruins the experience. It's impossible to please everyone at the end of the day, but I just hope they pleased more people with this decision than they ruined it for. There's a lot of fun to be had here and a nice little twist near the end to keep things interesting. All in all a good little effort

On Halloween night, a group of six terrifying inmates manage to break free from a high-security mental asylum. Their twisted minds lead them to target unsuspecting teenagers who are enjoying the thrills of the newly opened Haunted Scream Park, turning it into a night of horror and terror.

If you enjoy gore, this film is perfect for you with plenty of bloody scenes to keep you entertained. The minor plot twists add an extra layer of excitement to the film. While the performances may not be outstanding, the film compensates with captivating moments that will hold your attention. This is an adventure that won't leave you frightened, but it certainly won't leave you uninterested either, that's for sure.

If you're a fan or gore and cheesy horror comedies you might like this. Maybe a couple things they said made me chuckle but the majority of the dialogue was nothing short of irritating and cringe-worthy. It was predictable. It had a dull plot. It's hard to find anyone to really root for as no one but the antagonists are at all likeable or have anything close to a personality as those are replaced by stupid quirks. But the action and gore is still fun, even when it looks terribly fake, hence why I gave it no less than 3 stars. However not fun enough to want to see a second time. I've got MUCH better horror movies lying around I could re-watch instead.

Bottom line: It's a fun gorefest to kill some time (no pun intended), but it's nothing we haven't seen before.
