This meta comedy horror film mostly fails at the comedy part - like not the most talented people behind the camera were trying too hard - but it's worth watching if you like anthologies. While this isn't as original as it thinks it is, the special effects are practical and mostly succeed. There is a ton of blood of gore and one very interesting (and mouthy) pile of goo. Overall, the stories are a mixed bag with some notable standouts - including a cameo from a beloved horror icon. The overarching story has some interesting concepts, including a great scene with a treadmill that explains sooo much in horror movies LOL. And freakin' Dustin Rhodes plays the Devil's Lake Impaler - not the most original Jason ripoff, but once again, this movie isn't as original as it thinks it is. So why this many skulls? It's a campy good time. It plays up the horror tropes while still managing to toss in a few surprises. At the end of the day, I was entertained, which is more than I can say about most other films.
Hilarious
Meh. There's some good segments (One Time in the Woods being the best IMO) and fun effects but the low points are really, really low. Referencing good movies doesn't make your movie good.
This movie is so meta, I LOVE it. What a fun ride this was!
Couldn't get 5 mins through it.
