    I got suckered

    I deserve to have the word "sucker" tattooed on my forehead. I'd just finished watching season 2 of Flight of the Conchords and was in need of more. Stumbled across an advert for this film and immediately ordered it.

    Jemaine appears in precisely one scene (about 2 minutes) Murray appears in 2 scenes (about 3 minutes in total) Bret appears in 5 or 6 scenes as a peripheral inconsequential character.

    Truly awful pedestrian plot not worthy of a TV movie. I can only assume that the three starts of FotC got suckered into making this movie themselves.

    Really, don't bother with this. I gave it 3 stars and I think in retrospect I was being very kind. At that point I still had 20 minutes to go.

    DOA ... or DOB

    So this is fun. Well it is a comedy I should say. It can also be annoying. Not the fun bits (although since humor is in the eye of the beholder ... who knows?), but the "scary" bits. If you constantly get kicked over and over again ... you would get annyoed and maybe bored.

    This is what happens with the jump scares here. Some may be thrown in as jokes of course ... but yeah. The story is alright if predictable. A decent horror comedy though some may feel there could have been more with the people involved in this.

    Diagnosis death

    Not really my type of film as one reviewer said it is not a horror. Mostly he was right so I gave it a very low rating. Only cost me two pounds so it was just a time filler really.

    Skip this one.

    There is Cancer, then an experimental drug trial. Then comes the nurse who seems evil. Hallucinations are blamed on the drugs. Two of the patients form kind of a bond to try and figure out what it is that's happening to them.

    If this review sounds boring, that's because the movie was. So boring I couldn't even finish watching it. If this review was here before I watched the movie, It would have saved me an hour. So hopefully this will save you that time.

    It's a bit silly to me that IMDb won't a low a nice succinct review. In order to express an opinion you have to write up a mini-biography of the movie. I do and do and do for you people, and this is the thanks I get!

    Enjoyable light comedy/horror

    Anyone watching this expecting a horror will be missing the point. This is a movie which includes in cameo roles the stars of Flight of the Conchords.

    There's nothing serious about this movie, and the plot is very light; the reason to watch this movie is the characters, who though almost only two dimensional in depth, are very likable.

    The tone/rhythm of the movie is a lot like Flight of the Conchords, as is it's subdued humor.

    There really isn't much more to say about this movie.

    I enjoyed quite a bit.

    It's a light, enjoyable snack.
