Club Dread

i went to see Broken Lizard's Super Troopers, with some friends, they are huge Super Troopers and i guarantee you they thought that this would exactly like Super Troopers... Well It's not... but it's just as funny

Bill Paxton is hilarous as Coconut Pete Jay Chandrasekhar is funny as Putnam

but i will admit it has to see Heffernen (Farva) as the Star

Steve Lemme is funny Soter is pretty good in the movie Erik Stolhanske is funny and convincing.. after u see u'll know why

BTW there is A LOT OF BOOBS!!! which never hurts a movie

also Brittany Daniel is extremely Hot in this

I give it a 7.75/10

Please I will warn you, if u go to the Theater thinking that this is Super Troopers, you will leave dissapointed

In Pleasure Island, Costa Rica, a serial killer slashes the employees of the Coconut Beach Resort, a paradisiacal place for having sex and fun. He advises the staff to continue working, otherwise he would slaughter the guests also. In a environment of suspicious, and with the afraid employees trapped in the island without communication, the number of deaths increases.

"Club Dread" is a funny slash movie. The forgettable story is very attractive, with beautiful naked girls and a nice cast. I liked this hilarious movie, a spoof of "serious" horror slash movies, showing a good combination of gore and comedy. If the viewer sees without great expectation, he or she may have a good surprise. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): "Pânico na Ilha" ("Panic in the Island")

With that being said, I loved this movie. With such terrible slasher spoofs as Scary Movie (I never bothered seeing the sequels) that was just one giant oral sex joke, this was a great breath of fresh air. The plot was typical (part of the spoof) and the acting at times hokey (yet again, part of the spoof), it's easy to get distracted away from the subtle humor and very entertaining dialogue.

Though the acting isn't classical actor's guild stuff, the characters are great. Especially Pete, Putman and Juan. I guess since I have seen the counter culture that this movie is mocking while spoofing the horror genre, it only makes it that much better.

If you're expecting a ground breaking horror movie, you will be disappointed. If you're expecting Super Troopers, you'll be let down. If you're expecting ground breaking in the spoof department... you might want to look elsewhere. If you just want a funny movie that doesn't try too hard and is entertaining on a subtle level, check this one out.

8/10

This is just like those slap stick shows that were out awhile back. I watched it with a few friends and we all liked it and laughed. Yes it was a bit different from super troopers, but why create a copy??? I think most that gave it a lousy report, expected it to be like their first movie. But this is a change, something different, they wanted to keep it us guessing. I had seen a interview with two of the members from and they said they are expanding their movie creating horizens, they don't want to be predictable.

Its very adult orientated with humor thats for sure. Just make sure the lil ones are out of the room when you watch it

Club dread is a cinematic treat. Fans of super troopers will understand the clever brand of comedy applied in this film. The accents aren't supposed to be realistic, the situations aren't supposed to be suspenseful, and most of all the acting isn't supposed to be oscar worthy. It's a joke people. It's a movie made by a comedy troop co-starring Bill Paxton. They're not exactly shooting for the stars. What they are trying to do is make you laugh. Let down your guard and admit that you like unnecessary nudity, brutal murders, and fake accents. If you didn't like super troopers you probably won't like this movie but on the same token, if you didn't like super troopers you're an uptight loser with no sense of humor. This movie is flat out funny when taken for what it is, so please do so. If you're looking for a life changing dramatic experience go see The Passion of The Christ but if you want to have a good time laughing at stuff you know is funny, even if you won't admit it, see this film. Smoke some, drink some, or go sober, but have a good time. Peace.
