Hellarious

A fun and daring collection of darkly comedic horror shorts. The comedy is at least amusing when not laugh-out-loud funny or clever, which it is often enough anyway. Some bits are pretty gory, so this isn't for the squeamish. I liked this and I'll watch it again.

Chapter 1 (Killer Kart): Bad things happen to a closing shift crew at a supermarket.

Chapter 2: (Horrific) A farmer has a run-in with a chupacabra.

Chapter 3: ('til death) 4 unhappily married men face unexpected consequences after offing their wives in a pact reminiscent of Strangers On A Train.

Chapter 4: (Death Metal) An untalented musician is handed down a guitar with a dark heritage and immediately breaks the rules for its ownership.

Chapter 5: (Lunch Ladies) Best friends and downtrodden cafeteria chefs Seretta and Louanne a passion for cooking and a burning love of Johnny Depp do what it takes to keep their jobs when they have a chance to meet their hero.

Chapter 6: (Bitten) In a reversal from the normal werewolf concept, a dog takes human form one night when the moon is full.

Chapter 7 (born again): A group of Satanists use one of their members' pregnancy to try to birth Satan into the world.

I was expecting more laughs out of this, but unless really stupid ridiculous scenarios are your type of humor, you aren't gonna laugh much. Obviously none of the shorts are meant to be taken seriously. They just come up with a random premise like what if a shopping cart ate people then just see where that level of absurdity takes them. Occasionally they did get a single "Ha!" Out of me when something dumb happened or said, but for the most part is just rolled my eyes as the scenes played out. The only scenario that I full on laughed at and truthfully enjoyed was the satanic guitar. All the mayhem it caused was over the top ridiculous and then some but man was it funny. But after that, it pretty much went down hill. I will say the acting is surprisingly good for a project like this. Everyone seems to take their roles seriously despite how absurd the whole thing is. Even the dog gave a commendable performance.

Must say I was very surprised. Hellarious was a good time. Had a nice natural comedic tone to it, had a couple stories that should be in the anthology story Hall of fame(Until death, Killer cart, Once bitten) nice pacing, nice gore and effects and it had the most important element every horror film should have, it wasnt boring. Worth checking out indeed.

Very funny with some clever scenes. The killer kart and lunch ladies segments are phenomenal and I really enjoyed them. Worth a watch for cheesy but clever horror.

I truly enjoyed this and was entertained enough I didnt leave my seat! Would definitely recommend it and or watch again myself. Had some good laughs and it was easily entertaining. Had some great gore to it as well.
