CLUB DREAD
Anyone familiar with and receptive to Broken Lizard’s goofball brand of humor should have lots of fun with Club Dread, but die-hard horror fans may also find themselves enjoying it more than expected as Chandrasekhar and company infuse the stalk n’ slash scenes, some of which are played straight, with enough suspense and bloody gore to sustain interest. Those same fans might also appreciate how Broken Lizard address standard slasher conventions (i.e. obvious red herrings, copious drug/alcohol abuse, loners die, etc.) without directly referring to the movies that defined them – I know I did. That is not to say, however, that genre fans won’t pick up on scenes that, as expected, pay homage to both the Halloween (P.O.V. shots) and Friday the 13th series (the impossibly fast killer) in style and execution. Obvious as those references may be, the ending of Club Dread gives this reviewer reason to suspect that the Broken Lizards may also have an affinity for Buddy Cooper’s lesser-known slasher The Mutilator (AKA Fall Break), as it seems to directly quote that low-budget gore-fest’s ridiculously over-the-top finale.
TRAILER
Waar rommel als I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER miserable faalt omdattie serieus bedoelt is, raakt deze film de juiste snaar als comedy. Liefhebbers van camp zullen deze film kunnen waarderen, liefhebbers van horrorfilms herkennen miljoenen cliches waar de draak mee wordt gestoken.
The Story: The sands run red with blood as a masked, machete-wielding maniac stalks staff members at a hedonistic island resort in Broken Lizard’s slasher spoof.
From Mel Brook’s comic masterpiece Young Frankenstein to the abysmal Shriek If You Know What I Did Last Friday the 13th, the horror genre is no stranger to spoofs; however, many fans will agree that the majority of horror-spoofs fail miserably due to a lack of respect for the genre and its fans. Fortunately, the Broken Lizard comedy troupe (Super Troopers), slasher fans themselves, deliver a rare spoof that manages to be both funny and engaging without patronizing its target audience.
On Pleasure Island, Costa Rica, washed-up Jimmy Buffett wannabe Coconut Pete (Paxton in a great comic turn) and his crew of over-sexed twenty-something's are busily entertaining droves of young guests when a mysterious murderer, cloaked in a poncho and tribal mask, begins hacking up the staff. Interestingly, the killer leaves a message warning the staff not to inform the guests unless they want more to die. With nothing standing in the way of fun, who would want to break up Coconut Pete’s 24-hour bacchanal? Is it Machete Phil (the genitalia-less madman of island lore), a disgruntled guest, or a staff member with an agenda? And what’s with the ever-changing Coconut Pete lyrics scrawled near the duty schedule? You’ll have to refrain from shooting soda out of your nose or dropping your popcorn in a fit of guffaws long enough to find out as Broken Lizard pack every scene with lowbrow humor and outrageous site gags while keeping you guessing, and in a few instances, on the edge of your seat.
