Any movie that has the word "motherfuckers" in the title had gotta be low budget. Throughout this movie you will see posters on the walls of the houses for big name movies that wouldn't appear in any kind of movie with big studio backing for fear of lawsuits. In fact, big studios wouldn't want to come within ten feet of this movie, period. It's gross and rude and crude and nasty. It features long scenes where all the action stops so the characters can masturbate backed by a rollicking porn soundtrack, the action stops again so two characters can perform a degenerate sex act in a car, an old woman (who is actually a man in drag) defecates on a metal plate and then finger paints and eats her own feces. It's just a big mess of a movie. People who think "Van Wilder" is disgusting ain't seen nothing yet. For the target audience, however, we the degenerate who actually seek these movies out, this movie is a blast from beginning to end. I've been following Hack Movies since their first release, "Dream Reaper," and with every movie they make, the special effects and the acting and the storylines get better.
This movie mocks those conventions so clearly that it's evident that the filmmakers know their audience, that they're in on the joke, and that they're having as much fun as we are. What's even clearer in this film than ever is how well Hack Movies knows their audience. The characters in this movie are a bunch of gamers who revel in RPGs (role playing games, like "Dungeons and Dragons," for the uninitiated) and they argue about minute details of the game to the point where you might think the movie is being ridiculous, but trust me, gamers actually talk like this, I know because I am one. One of the characters even says near the beginning of the film, "Normal people have no idea what you're talking about! We talk in some secret dork language!" This was a wonderful bit of self-referential fun. And I got another surprise later. Two of the characters relate everything that happens in their lives to things that happened in the TV show "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," and I realized anew how much of a dork I am because not only did I understand the references they made, but being a Buffy dork myself, I've actually found myself doing the same thing. Whoops. Guess I'm a nerd. But I love it! When one character says "I did everything I could but he's got super strength like that crappy cyborg Adam from Buffy season four, except this guy doesn't suck!" I knew exactly what he was talking about. When another character says "would you guys shut the fuck up about Buffy? You guys are like 25 years old and the show was canceled five years ago for a REASON" I nearly peed my pants. Trust me, Buffy geeks like me have a special treat in store for them with this one. Of course normal people will find this terribly stupid and boring. They will find nothing to enjoy about a movie with bad special effects, and they won't understand what a character is talking about when he says "This is gonna suck worse than an R.L. Stine book!" as he's getting killed by a zombie. They will further be annoyed when three characters in the film get into a five minute debate about whether eating your own face is considered cannibalism, and they will find nothing funny about hearing a character yell "you can't go around killing people with that stupid fucking lollipop." In short, watching this movie will be a very tedious experience for normal people, and they are cautioned to stay far, far away and go watch "27 Dresses" or something instead. But for horror fans and connoisseurs of the weird and quirky, those who know who R.L. Stine is and who've seen a few horror movies in their time, those who aren't afraid to embrace their inner dork and have a good laugh at themselves, they will be grossed out and sickened and shocked and they will laugh their asses off and enjoy every minute. And for the skeptics, did you not read my review? It's gross and sick and weird and stupid and filled with inside jokes and bad sex scenes. Go away. Watch something respectable like "The Remains of the Day" and let us weirdos have our fun.
