Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

trashgang When you combine horror and comedy mostly things doesn't work out, because you make scary situations funny. Far most of the comedies coming out of the US didn't gave me a smile. Jay Chandrasekhar, the director did put in some comedy but not too much, it laid underneath, you had to search for it and by doing so the humor did work. He also knew his stuff in the horror genre by giving us some winks to classics. Just see how the killer comes up after being stabbed to death. Didn't that ring a bell, Michael Myers from Halloween, anybody? Or when the survivors are on a boat with happy music and suddenly one is attack like Jason did in Friday The 13th. On part of the horror it isn't that scary at all but it's just a flick you have to see with your friends and a six pack of beer. The acting was rather good for such a dumb flick. But some of the girls do know their stuff, Jordan Ladd (Penelope) went further on to act in Hostel part 2 and Cabin Fever and Death Proof. The best known face for me was Brittany Daniel (Jenny) who moved on to The Hamiltons and Skyline. Of course there's a bit of nudity in it, you get it straight away in the beginning of the flick. Funny was although that Jenny was going for a shower and reacted rather funny towards the viewers. I admit, even as it clocked in at 104 minutes I was attracted to the screen due the horror and comedy. Don't expect a flick like Scary Movie, it has more to show us. Some parts were on the gory side but overall it's watchable for teenagers too. Made in full bloom of the torture porn genre, that's why it flopped, being a slasher with some laughs.

Steve Pulaski Broken Lizard's Club Dread doesn't try to pay homage to slasher films as much as it laughs at them by introducing a bunch of oddball characters that are jumping around off their own medicine. The lively actors, beautiful scenery, and suspenseful scenes actually make this one of the few comedy/horror films that I'll recommend.I normally hate comedy and horror mixed together, but that doesn't mean it can't be done well. Maybe I've just been unlucky when it comes to seeking out the right films. Broken Lizard's Club Dread compiles cliché, tired elements from old slasher films and truly makes them work with the cast's quick wit and the stylish directing which goes to Jay Chandrasekhar.The story takes place at Coconut Pete's Pleasure Island, and our host of the same name is played by Bill Paxton in a very Jimmy Buffet-esque manner. Many tourists arrive at the island to have too many drinks and way too many careless hookups. Among the staff is Lars (Hefferman), a chubby man who has the hands for giving a great massage among other things, Jenny (Daniels), the sweet and "innocent" Yoga instructor, Putman (Chandrasekhar), the champion tennis player. Dave (Soter), Pete's crazy son. Juan (Lemme), a sex-maniac who is obsessed with a tourist named Penelope, but nicknamed by him "Pee-na-lope" (Ladd). And Sam (Stolhanske), the fun police of the island.There learn that a killer is on the island, and is killing people in rhythm to a song written by Coconut Pete years ago called "Naughty Cal." The song has shocking parallels to a number of the murders, and only makes more out of such a small thriller.Among the counselors, I think Lars and Putman where my favorites. Lars is sensitive, yet sometimes short tempered, and Putman is by far the quirkiest one of the bunch. Which is pretty much the highest compliment I can give him and the Broken Lizard group. They are a delightful, quirky comedic group that projects a unique type of humor onto modern society. Some love it, others don't.To recommend this film to everyone would be a big mistake. It's a common sense recommendation - if you like comedy and horror, this is for you. If you don't, you should skip it. If you're new to the horror genre, this is not the place to start. Broken Lizard's Club Dread dares to be different, and it works out more often than not.Starring: Bill Paxton, Kevin Heffernan, Brittany Daniel, Steve Lemme, Jordan Ladd, Jay Chandrasekhar, Paul Soter, Erik Stolhanske, Greg Cipes, and M.C. Gainey. Directed by: Jay Chandrasekhar.

DeadHeroNZ This is possibly one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I loved Super Troopers and had high hopes for this film too but was sadly disappointed. The real sad thing is that I was high when I watched it and still didn't laugh and thats saying something. If you can't make pot smokers laugh then you should stop trying to make funny movies. I understand that they were not trying to make a high class movie, that much I get but come on stupid wigs and crap accents do not make for a funny movie. Let's just hope whatever kind of movie they chance their hand at next is at least written better than this stinking pile of excrement, shame on you Broken Lizard, shame on you. With saying that, at least it had some nudity. :)

SeptumSin Well this is a review for Club Dread an interesting movie by those zany guys that brought us "Super Troopers". This is a comedy/horror about a bunch of people going to an island resort to have a good time but little do they know a psycho killer is out to ruin their alcohol/drug soaked lives.There are parts of this movie that are very entertaining such as some of the twisted songs that are in the film but really this doesn't much feel like a comedy or a horror. I don't really feel much like laughing or screaming.The movie does have some small value and can be entertaining as a party movie. I'm not sure that I'd watch this movie unless you are a little intoxicated first. Well best wishes to your viewing.
