I watched this on a whim while looking through movies released in 1993, not expecting much. While it isn't an unparalleled masterpiece, I was surprised by how much I genuinely appreciated and enjoyed this film. I watched it once on my own then again the next day because I was so delighted that I wanted to show my spouse. It's incredibly well-shot with interesting and varied shots, the ADR adds charm and is as well-done as can be expected with this limitation and it's genuinely funny in all the ways it intends!
It's very clearly a parody of horror movies and it does that well. Plot elements are set up and pay off In satisfying ways. My favorite element of the plot was the serial killer on the loose, which resolves in an absolutely delightful way. The biggest failing you see in a lot of low budget films is the pacing. That's not an issue here at all! It moves really quickly and throws a lot at you but it's always coherent and interesting, densely packed with gags and humor.
I think it's a shame that so many people equate low budget with a movie being automatically "so bad it's good". Those movies absolutely exist and I adore them but not every low budget production that's funny is good/bad. This is intentionally funny and none of the humor comes from sincere moments that are ridiculous or production errors.
Please watch this and spread it around. It's a crime that this isn't a cult classic. The whole thing is available for free on the director's website, too! Littlecoreygorey . Com will get you there.
