Shingles: The Movie

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.

This movie just isn't good. Unfortunately while the director manages to work with his budget, the end result is a haphazard mess with few to no scares and ultimately ends up being a snooze fest.

This would be much more paletteable if the director actually knew what horror was. Unfortunately (and unsurprisingly) the director seems to go for cheap scares and puts very little effort into the craft. As scathing as that may seem, I'm just trying to spare those who may blindly stumble upon this movie and think it may be worth watching. Not the case sadly. The film needs to be ironed out more if there is any hope of future for the director and his crew.

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.

I spent last year reading all of the Shingle books to prep for this. The Shingles book series ranges from "10 year old boys high on meth and mountain dew writing a Goosebumps parody" to really solid books that deserve to be fleshed out into full fledged novels or separate series.

I laughed a lot, and after some books I showered a lot.

I say all of that to say, Shingles the Movie strikes a great balance of immature humor, good writing, and good acting made better by a director and crew that know what they are doing.

Only reason I cant rate this higher is it needed more Buick (well and I cant take it to 11).

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.
