Hellarious

If you don't get what they are going for, I don't know know what to tell you. Perhaps not everyone's cup of tea, but I just loved it. Great stories, Great acting, Great cheap special effects.

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.

Collections of shorts by different directors can vary wildly but this is relatively even. Stories about a chupacabra and two school meal cooks are probably the weakest, the latter out staying its welcome to drag out a predictable twist.

A story of an inanimate object coming to life is fun, and should appeal to anyone who enjoyed Rubber (2010) as the two have a similar feel. Another sketch is reminiscent of Pick of Destiny (2006), while others have the feel of American Werewolf in London (1981) and Life After Beth (2014) or Nina Forever (2015).

That's it, in a nutshell. Nothing particularly innovative, but fun to tick along with. The first and last sketches are my favourites but I felt the film could have been better with a connecting thread, like a crypt keeper, a summer camp counsellor or deranged psychiatrist to smooth the transitions. Even just a Twilight Zone (1983) twist to link those bookend stories.

Not sure what you have to smoke to make it through the entirety of this but it's safe to say it was hands down the worst thing I watched all year. Unbearably bad.

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.
