Really Surprised!
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
There are relatively few times that I have come out of a movie so bitter and angry as this one. I look at this movie and other movies such as Epic Movie, Disaster Movie, Not Another Teen Movie, etc. and wonder what happened to spoof comedy. There are fewer types of movies out there that are worse than unfunny comedies, and this 'comedy' got ZERO laughs out of me. Who finds this stuff funny? Oh look, its Leslie Nielson in drag, that's HILARIOUS! Oh, and all of these iconic movie slashers such as Michael Myers and Freddy Kreuger are doing the YMCA dance.(I'm completely serious.) That is not funny, its a farce. I don't know what is worse, the writing or the fact that there seems to be some sort of market for a movie like this. What makes this movie even worse is that while some terrible movies get the thrashing they deserve, (such as The Happening, Troll 2, and Battlefield Earth) they are memorable. Those movies are entertaining, although not in the way the director intended. This movie is not memorable in how bad it is. It. Just. Sucks. I have rated over 800 movies on this website, and have only given out eight 1/10 ratings. This movie earns and deserves that distinction, because it has no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
I'm not a fan of the Scary Movie franchise, or those blasted ..... movie movies, so I knew what I was letting myself in for, but in the back of my head, I thought, just one of these movies, just one, could change the way they make these movies.It's still need to be made though. There is one good visual gag involving the Ring right at the beginning, and then it goes way of the old toilet humour and sexual innuendo gags at every level possible.The cast are given very little to do, apart from scream, act really stupid, and just generally irritate the audience.Story is silly but to the point, titular character has to deliver some videos (even though there DVDs) and ends up getting lost and the townsfolk mistake him for Hugh Jackman.Cue lots of unfunny jokes referencing slasher movies of the eighties and Leslie Nielsen in a wig and make up.It's as bad as it sounds.I wish I hadn't had bothered.
As a drive-by connoisseur of horror; this was a pretty darn funny send up. Beats the last couple Scary Movie spoofs that relied on too much cameo/star presence. This was formulaic, but in a good way, goofs, send-ups, mocking with some actual WTF weirdness. I'd rather watch this for the genre than another Scary Movie rehash. Bottom line, kookier, creepier, and fresher than the genre staples have lowered themselves to.Also, the actors are above par for a 'tongue-in-cheek' parody. If your expecting witty repartee, your in the wrong place. If you want a goofy send up of cliché horror tropes, you've arrived.
Well, after reading all of these reviews that said this movie sucked and what not, i figured that I'll still give it a shot. I didn't expect all that much out of such a lowly rated film. But, honestly it was not all that bad! I thought the humor in there was pretty funny. At some parts I was kind of like "WTF?" but still they made me laugh. It was funny how they always called him "Van Helsing" and he would say " why does everyone call me that!" . Pinhead with the dartboard head was pretty funny. And I liked how Michael Myerss' characters mask changed, the leatherface spoof was pretty comical with the leaf blower.etc...Point being, this wasn't supposed to be a big award winning film, and I do believe that the makers of the film knew it as well. It's just supposed to be a fun movie that you watch with a bunch of friends and laugh at. Don't be so hard on it, if you really took the time and understood the humor and just sat back, relaxed, and enjoyed it, then it wouldn't be half as bad. :)
