This movie is horrible. Not only is it not worth your time to sit and watch it, it is torture to watch. My brother was watching it and I happened to be in the same room while he was watching it and there is one word I would use to describe this movie: TRASH! The acting is terrible, the script is crap, the special effects are non existent. This is not even a movie, it's a waste of a tape, it's a sad excuse for something to be considered a so called movie. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT WATCH THIS, IT'S NOT WORTH IT! The only way I would suggest watching this is if you would like to torture yourself, if you would like to torture yourself then by all means watch this movie. I don't even think anyone who was high could appreciate this movie, in fact I think this movie might drive people to get high. Well anyway if your looking for a good movie to rent at the video store rent anything other than this, believe me you'll be sorry if you rent this.
Yes, "Terror Toons" is no "I Know What You Did Last Summer". In my opinion, the more power to that. Those who made "Terror Toons" were definitely doing a guerrilla thing, regardless of how the movie turned out. A lot of people would probably see this as one of the most inane horror videos out there. They're right, but "Terror Toons" was meant to be this way. It's a goofy cartoon show mixed, in my opinion, very well with the splatter-comedy genre. First of all, the gore FX were extremely bad. If the filmmakers would have been given a huge budget, would they have been a lot more believable? Yes, and, considering many of the z-grade films I've seen that were shot ON FILM, I can honestly tell you that I have seen gore FX a lot worse than those displayed in "Terror Toons". As for the cheap computer animation, I don't think they could have done any better on a bigger budget. In fact, with a bigger budget, the better computer graphics could only have made the film less enjoyable. My reason for saying this is this movie was (to me, anyway) very obviously meant to convey a cartoonish feel. Do you think when Tex Avery did his stuff he worried about how realistic it looked? "Terror Toons" was not meant to wow anyone, I'm sure, but it was ambitious and was done a lot better than it could have been. I understand that part of being a critic is criticizing, but one thing I feel I learned early on is that there is a difference between worthless crap and when someone was at least trying to do something nifty and put their heart into it. In order for one to truly appreciate movies like "Terror Toons", one needs to take into consideration, in addition to this, the simple fact of what they did right. I love "Terror Toons" and found it to be an entertaining surprise. For open-minded cheezy-horror fans, I would recommend this with, at the very least, a nine on a scale of ten.
While perusing the racks of my local Blockbuster, my friends and I were set on "Adaptation," the intelligent movie with Nick Cage. But then I saw "Terror Toons" on the shelf and we just had to get it, being in a silly mood.
The film (or video, I should say, since the movie is actually shot on video, NOT on film), which was shot in three days on a budget of $2300, was entertaining, if anything. The actors, who were quite obviously porn stars attempting to make a legitimate movie, were pretty awful; the special effects were creative, although visually unappealing and unnecessarily gory; the storyline...well...we'll just say the storyline is centered around cartoon characters who murder people. But with their acting skills, they deserve to be murdered.
Special cameos by the Devil create some weird morality issues, but by the time you get to the end, you'll be laughing too hard to pay attention.
If you're looking for a serious horror flick, then this one (which looks as though it was shot in someone's basement) is not what you're looking for. In fact, I'm pretty sure this is a comedy.

Unbearable. I don't even know where to begin on this other than saying that this was, by far, the worst movie I personally have ever seen.
For one, it was obvious that Candy was supposed to be around the age of 7 or 8, but was played by a porn star of about 25. What made this even worse was the fact that the camera shot on her obviously fake breasts was too long to even allow the viewer to even consider her being under the age of 10.
The rest of the cast, characters probably set around the age of anywhere from 17 - 19, should either be preparing for their first cooperate job or an early pre-metapause.
Before I even watched the film, I watched the trailer for Terror Toons, behind the scenes of Terror Toons and Interviews with the cast and crew.
From the trailer, I was disappointed the minute the cartoonish villains made their appearance. I had seen the case to this 'movie' in my local Blockbuster and from reading the information I imagined the 'house party' being a large group of 15 or more people being terrorized by creatures the size of your standard puppet. When I saw the life-sized insult to horror that was Doctor Carnage and Max Assassin and the four person party I was shocked at how wrong I was.
During the interviews with the actors and crew members, I could come to the conclusion that this movie would be filth. When interviewing the actor who played Eddie on what his most memorable scene was for him he couldn't even remember the two monsters who not only terrorized the four-some of 'teens' but the viewers as well. Then when the actress who played Amy was asked what she thought when she was told the movie would be shot in 3 days (God Save Us!) she said 'I'm not very good at memorizing lines and saying them so I was shocked!' all I could think was, 'So, she's basically telling us she's a terrible actress then?' And you don't know how right I was.
And, what was up with the random animated animals just popping up from the corner of the screen through out the movie? Not to mention the super hero! My god and what was with the ending?
I think that the house, though very cool, only added to the monstrosity of the movie. The vibrantly colored walls, covered in flames or stars, just made it look like a cheap movie that was shot to serve as a movie a character would watch in a major budget movie.
The only thing that was even remotely amusing about his movie was the mother of the two girls played by a man in drag.
From start to finish, this so called film was filled with bad acting, bad directing, bad writing and all around just a bad movie. At one point in the movie I was hoping that Max Assassin and Doctor Carnage would break into a mad, 'comedic' way and do away with me.
I let four weeks and four trips to Blockbuster go by before I decided on renting this movie and wish I would have forgotten all about it.
I can sum up everything wrong with this movie in one simple phrase. 'There were only two things wrong with this movie The camera lens was off and the sound was on'
Having said all of this I am going to allow myself to be an immensely huge walking contradiction. Despite Terror Toons', and it REALLY was a terror, horrid EVERYTHING, if I do see that my local Blockbuster does have a copy of Terror Toons: The Sick And Silly Show (the highly unanticipated sequel) I just might rent it. I do believe that people can learn from their mistakes and not hire porn stars or 30 year olds to play teenagers in a horror movie.
Though the movie did do a number on my mind and eyes (God, I hope I can forget about this movie someday) I think it did even more of a number on the actors and crew members even more. Just think these poor people with have to live with the fact that this movie is on the resumes forever.
2/10 --- The drag queen really saved them on this one.

WOw, this movie sucks. I rented it knowing it was gonna suck but I had no idea it would be this bad... From the opening scene, you know this is gonna suck. The opening scene is fake, funny, stupid, horrible all at the same time. I find it funny how horrible this film is, yet it is very entertaining. The gore is alright, not all of it looks as fake as it does in the first scene, some of it looks okay. Most of the special effects are bad, but not all of it. Some very fake CGI in here, and the Terror Toons don't look like cartoons. The kills are okay, some of them funny, some of them just...bad. I still find it entertaining, I really enjoy this movie. Must see for any fans of really, really BAD movies!
