I really appreciated the way this film worked hard to turn its B-movie budget into a strength. When you're making a horror comedy and you can't afford theatrical-release-worthy effects (or actors), what do you do? You embrace the cheese! This movie is very self-aware, making no attempt to be anything other than it is: a crazy clever hodge podge of at least a dozen classic and more traditional horror films...a movie about movies in which they watch several movies before ultimately becoming part of a "movie"! (You read that correctly; quite meta. You'll have to watch to get it lol.)
Bottom line; if you have an open mind and you're not an outright film snob, give it a watch. You just might be pleasantly surprised, as I was!

This movie begins with an interesting premise: make people laugh. This, in a horror movie, is absolutely key especially when your budget is tight. The work of the writers and production is excellent to bring the game to each situation to offer unexpected, hilarious moments, and the necessary dose of blood to have a nice time. The rhythm slows down in the final part but it is still a good example of the cinema to be made. Recommended.
The problems with anthologies is that one is as bad as it's worst short story. If your worst story is good enough, you're probably into a good anthology.
But this is not the case. I enjoyed the first one although I expected a lil more. The goo one I found it the most funny, even made me lol, which is weird in me, but I like horror comedy and silly gore when done right. The last story was entertaining at parts, at other's a lil cringey. The midle stories were avarage hit or miss.
So even if I give it a 4 for it's worse stories, I'd recommend it if you feel like watching a really silly horror movie, with some good and some bleh stories, with some meta commentary about horror and jokes about it but expect silly acting, lines, expressions and gratuitous gore (which isn't that bad).

If youre a horror nerd, its a must see. if you like people mockin away on the horror genre then have a look, if youre not a horror lover then watch it. its easy, its laughter, and its good. a thumb up from the grumpy old man.
Sorry but this film was pretty funny as long as you take it tongue in cheek and accept it is a light humoured dig at horror movies, a bit like the parody of the scream movies.Genuinly funny at the over the top deaths and gore and also the familiarity of'THE OFFICE' segments at the video shop.Yes it had continuity flaws but seriousy not that bad.Not sure why other reviews are slating the actors as ive seen much much worse and i could not find any significant problems with all involved.Possibly the editors should have deleted the first 5 to 10 minutes as this was detrimental to the entire movie and possibly why most people turn off after a short period.'THIS MOVIE GETS BETTER AND BETTER AND PISS TAKING' the further you get through.Fantastic ending and if you have a funny bone and do not mind a bit of japing this is for you.Im English so a few character references were lost on me but all in all quite funny.Hope this helps.LOL
