Although I love horror I don't really like anthologies so I had pretty low expectations, but I ended up really enjoying the movie. Most stories were fun and interesting and they managed to get the tone exactly right, which is very difficult. And the gore was lovely :)
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.
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.
A good range of funny gory stories with a fun and relatable wraparound to tie it all together. It drags a little in the middle but it does deliver in then, while employing and mocking so many horror tropes.
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!
