OMG... We're in a Horror Movie

The story Bandele gives us is a great conceptual romp with some awesome potential. Unfortunately the originality and creativity gets lost among overused and played out situations and gimmicks. Most of what "OMG! We're In A Horror Movie" offers can be seen in other horror comedies with better results. This film misses on the funny on many levels. Don't get me wrong, the movie has some softer moments of entertainment and genuinely funny moments, just not enough to sustain the entire film.

The acting and cinematography are great. The cast are committed to the characters, and some cast give quick, witty performances of a well-written script. Most of what fails "OMG! We're In A Horror Movie" is that pesky lack of originality and loss of humor due to poor comedic timing. Ajala Bandele does hit the mark on some of his direction he takes with the film, the atmosphere and quick report between the characters keep the scenes moving nicely.

Overall "OMG! We're In A Horror Movie" fails simply due to a lack of creative and original story design. Mostly missed opportunity with more developed kill scenes, and spoofier dramatics that could have been amped up a bit more. The musical score was a bright spot, so was the actual characters themselves. But the slasher Comedy has been done over and over and better. Watch with an understanding that there isn't a lot happening in "OMG! We're In A Horror Movie" that is entertaining.

It's been a long time since I came across a random movie that I hit play and forget that it's on. I was thoroughly entertained, tickled, and I really enjoyed watching this movie and the characters. The dialogue was refreshing and the movie didn't have that annoying "another teen slasher movie" vibe.

While the horror Genre is open to parody and mocking, you really have to know what you are doing to get it right.

This looked like a bunch of film students who wanted to make a funny film, sending up horror films, but the jokes all fell kind of flat. It looks like they had ten minutes of plot idea, and had to fill out an hour and a half running time.

If You think horror movies are the dumbest possible genre besides porn, than this flick is for you. This cheap project makes fun of the genre in the most intelligent way I have seen by now. Mostly all typical elements of horror, splatter, vampire and zombie trash are in it. There are a ton of references to those types of movies which you will not get, because you did not see them. But there are also references for nerds and Star Trek fans. One chick will dress in a red Star Fleet uniform. Guess who will die first! On the other side, Star Trek commanders put up a hell of a fight! And if your ex-girlfriend is border-liner, she is also not to be underestimated. So, which cliché beats what stereotype? Do black people survive in a mixed group, out there in the lonely cottage? Ever? And when the producers are both black? Now You are not so certain any more! And You will not be until the last scene. But You will be entertained. If You are a horror movie fan, this flicker is poison for your mood.

I still haven't cracked a smile....Pretty stupid so far.
