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!

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).

Honestly For anthology it's pretty good. It's got a great 80s twist to everything and pokes a lot of fun jokes.
If you're into campy 80s horror and making fun at those movies... I think this will be a great fit for you. Oh It's also got a fun Cabin in the woods type of mix to it at the end if you know what I mean.

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.
