This one was a Screaming Hoot!

Rabh17

The genius of the setup of this movie is the selection of Steven Dorff as the Lead character. He's a Stolid, no-nonsense actor who gives his characters a groundfloor solidity. You don't expect comedy from him.

Then you surround him with mondo-splatter hilarity and just watch as "Ritchie" tries to dodge through the insanity and just GET OUT. His face is a character-study in "Jesus-WTF is going on here?" And that mein makes him the Straight-up Man for the entire Horror Hoot.

This movie isn't just Funny. It's Hysterical! Special kudos to Jamie Foreman and Russel Smith (Peter & Yuri). They were like an Evil, Reversed Abbot & Costello. I haven't laughed like that in Decades to the kind of faultless, genius slapstick they brought back to the screen. It was the sort of funny that always made your mother wake up and order you to turn the TV Off because you were laughing so hard.

This movie is GREAT with friends and Beer & Wine.

Watch After Midnight.

score 10/10
