Tales from the Crapper

These were two video shot movies that Troama decided were horrible so in a desperate move turned into this one movie. Perhaps the bitterness on Troama's side helped spark the comedy, but for whatever reason this is very funny stuff with an inspired bit with "Oliver Stone" doing commentary during the movie. Lots of cameos, lots of use of the Lesbian Cannibal HoeDown song add to the fun. Trey Parker, Ted Raimi, Julie Strain etc etc....

One of the best of recent Troama releases. Yes it's all over the place, know that going in, the production quality, or lack of, becomes one of the many running jokes. Go with it and you'll be in for a good time.

The behind the scenes, frequently the best things about Troama releases are also above average this time around. I really think the anger they felt over these two lousy films helped drive them to, well not greatness, but drove them to "fix" this film in a way that's better than either of the films would have been as they were originally planned.

I've reviewed many films in many genres (But a lot of horror, because there is so many levels). This is flat out trash that made me angry that it ever fouled my eyes and ears. I've seen a ton of low budget films, but this is by far the worst. Acting, music, directing, script, and voice acting is just awful. It is what happens when you give a stoned teenager a camera... Perhaps someone will mention that I don't understand that this is satire, but I'm not mentally ill. Films Like Scary Movie 1 or Don't be a Menace while Drinking Juice in the Hood are solid examples of satire and spoof movies. This is just abusive to human senses. The jokes are less than Sophomoric. They are pre-school. How many times can a fart sound be used in one film? The visuals and audio are worse than the projects I made in school. Lastly, it has the cardinal sin of pretending to spoof or have any connection to Tales From the Crypt. The EC Comics are wonderful parts of our culture. The type of fun horror that can connect generations of people. Creepshow 1&2, as well as the TV show, Tales from the Crypt TV shows, and it's films are American staples. Many other films have followed in the EC Comics tradition with dignity like Cat's Eye, Tales From the Darkside movie, Trick R Treat, or even the ABC's of Death... Even if the makers want to spoof the anthology EC style, they could've reached for more quality like Tales from the Hood... The saving grace for this POS is supposed to be all the naked girls, but most of them are gross, have obvious plastic surgery, and probably are strippers in the poor sections of California. Why make your "hot girls" keep farting over and over? It wasn't funny the 1st time, and down right anger inducing the 500th time. I've never been so unimpressed. Might actually be the worst film I've ever seen. I probably spent more time and energy critiquing it than they did making it.

Of course I had zero expectations to "Tales from the Crapper" as it was a Troma movie. I never have been a fan of that movie company. But since I had never actually seen, nor heard about, this 2004 movie, of course I opted to give it a fair chance and the benefit of the doubt.

Maybe having no less than six directors is what spoiled the movie, though not much of a testament to the directorial skills of Gabriel Friedman, India Allen, Chad Ferrin, Dave Paiko, Brian Spitz and Lloyd Kaufman

It sort of amazes med that writers Mark C. Adams, Edward Havens and Adam Jahnke collectively could muster only to compile such a pile of garbage as "Tales from the Crapper" turned out to be. Granted, I harbored zero expectations to the movie, but the stories were just laughably bad.

The acting performances in the movie were nothing outstanding. But it is impressive that the likes of James Gunn, Eli Roth and Julie Strain actually opted to participate in this rubbish.

The movie's cover was actually the best thing about this travesty of a movie.

My rating of "Tales from the Crapper" lands on a one out of ten stars. The tales should have stayed in the crapper.

Another BRILLIANT film from Troma. I'd goes as far as to say it's going to be the most unique film put out this year. The purpose of this film is hilarious in itself. According to the narrator THE CRAP KEEPER (played by Lloyd Kaufman, he better get an oscar nod for costume design) this movie was designed from the remains of two awful films they had made. As awesome as Troma is rather than putting out 2 boring BAD films they decided to make it one kicka** double feature. A double feature like no other, the adr work, narration, editing, and BONER-VISION make this one of Troma's finest gems. Lots of people will probably disagree, but these people have been cinematically brain washed. I enjoyed it more than Citizen Toxie, it was more from the hip, looser, as though it was pure creative freedom. Lloyd is the king of this stuff, he hasn't hung up his hat like Waters and so many others, he keeps exploring far away from the realms of safety.

I saw that movie a long time ago when I was way younger, and this is frankly one of the stupidest movies I have probably ever watched. I can't hardly remember most of it as it was very forgettable, but what I remember seeing was bad.

I mean to be fair, this wasn't meant to be a serious movie as it was meant to be funny, but it just ended up being not funny in slightest coming off as idiotic instead. The only thing that managed to be funny was the name, and a character called the ' crap keeper ', and that's it, everything else was stupid.

I mean I know troma/Lloyd Kaufman can make good movies as they'd made some movies I like or found very funny, but this one? Nope, I honestly say pass on this one, and check out his other movies besides this one.
