Shingles: The Movie

Numerous times cast members seen moving in the background apart from the scene. For a horror film, it was not scary in the least and despite having gratuitous blood from zombies, it was a joke.

The ventriloquist material was pretty immature and lousy.

The videography was on the level of a high school play at best and really did not add much to the story. The trailer park scenes were appropriate given that "trailer park trash" would be my description for the production crew, videographers, and most of the actors in general. At nearly two hours, it was pretty much more than I could take during a single sitting.

Shingles: the Movie is a fun anthology of stories directed by Steve Rudzinski (the CarousHell series). In "Shingles the movie", we have the four cooter scouts sitting around a campfire telling stories while they're waiting for their scoutmaster to catch dinner.

The first story involves "Jimmy" and a zombie apocalypse. It's the shortest story and my least favorite.

Story number two features "Sloppy" the Ventriloquist dummy. It's pretty funny! The actor "Ben Dietels" reminds me of Ed Helms. Lol! Anyway the story is loaded with laughs and crude humor.

The third story involves Aliens crashing a fraternity party. Watch as the Aliens and the Frat compete against each other in beer games.

My favorite and the final story is about "Dusty the Gnome". He's a garden Gnome that poops cocaine! This is probably the most comical of the stories. You'll never look at garden Gnomes the same after this.

I'm not familiar with the Shingles books, so I came in as a fan of a couple the actresses.

I have long loved the books by the Authors and Dragons crew and learning that a Shingles Movie was coming absolutely made me giddy with anticipation.

This movie is hilarious, but kind of dumb. Like, Napoleon Dynamite dumb. It might take a couple of viewings to "get it".

Without spoiling the stories, I will say that most of them keep SUPER close to the books, but there are of course differences. (like none of the characters in the movies are "kids", that would be just too horrible)

You'll love Buick, You'll think Jimmy is a total tool. You will never look at garden gnomes or venquilitrist dummies the same way either!

My favorite short is probably Zombies Wrecked my Kegger, but I will say that Just Say Gnome is... Something else.

I only take off one star because some of the effects aren't very special, but it's a very thriftily made movie! Watch it. You'll have a blast.

Terrible movie. If you value your life and your time listen to this review. The only reason this movie has a high score is because it's got a very devoted fanbase of ten year olds too hopped up on sugar to know what horror and comedy actually are.

The first scene of the movie is supposed to be bad on purpose, and I was initially intrigued at this because I thought that there was no way that the acting and jokes could get worse. I was so totally wrong. Not only did the jokes fall flat, but they looked like they even made the actors uncomfortable. The acting even got worse! It's just impossible to me that a movie like this can have a rating so high.

Shingles the Movie simply must be watched. One is made aware of why life is worth living after enjoying the film. The acting is exactly what you'd expect. The special effects use every single penny of the budget, and possibly a couple more. The direction is superb. The big gun, however, is the writing. This is seriously some of the funniest stuff out there. Much, much funnier than any Hollywood comedy written these days. It's not just funny, it's smart-funny.. and by that I mean it's stupid. In a smart way. I'm fairly sure that if one doesn't enjoy this movie, they're probably actual serial killers, fascists, or politicians.
