This film was probably just too close to reality for MAGA cultists, so ignore the bad reviews. If you are a fan of the franchise and don't worship the orange fascist, you should enjoy this film.
The B-horror movie seems to be going away. Long gone are the days of picking up a couple of "scary" movies from your local video store, buying some beer and inviting friends over to pick the movie apart. Today's B-horror either tries to be B-horror(thus losing the charm) or is so terrible and boring that there is nothing to make fun of. This film is the best laugh I have had in a while. It is just interesting enough to keep you keep watching and although I feel it does make fun of itself purposely on a couple of occasions, it is just serious enough to get the laughs going. For a B-movie to be funny, the golden rule is that the audience feels that the director has a masterpiece on his hands. No spoilers here: but the best laughs come from the bar scene in the beginning of the movie(particularly the "John" character), then later a female who keeps having a pain and describes it in detail, a certain character's sleeping apparel, the best stereotype of a yuppie jock in horror movie history(seriously) and the flying ax. That is just to name a few. Invite friends over, pour some refreshments and enjoy. This is as good as it gets for horror fun at the film's expense.
Every now and then, a title that you have no expectations for turns out to be very entertaining and memorable. This is one of those films. VERY MILD SPOILER HERE**: I knew that it was going to be different with the first song interlude during the first violent scene in the film. END VERY MILD SPOILER** It just goes from there and will keep your attention with some great stereotypical humor(and i say "stereotypical" as a good thing here...as in, making fun of stereotypes). I actually won this DVD in a Rue Morgue Radio contest and forgot about it for months. I have since viewed it 3 times and each time is enjoyable. Very original and looking forward to other Cade offerings. Beer will impress you as well in the "Toby" role and with the musical score. Nice to see a breath of fresh air in this genre. Do yourself a favor and check this one out!
