Save your money for something good and enjoyable

Crappy film

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

There are relatively few times that I have come out of a movie so bitter and angry as this one. I look at this movie and other movies such as Epic Movie, Disaster Movie, Not Another Teen Movie, etc. and wonder what happened to spoof comedy. There are fewer types of movies out there that are worse than unfunny comedies, and this 'comedy' got ZERO laughs out of me. Who finds this stuff funny? Oh look, its Leslie Nielson in drag, that's HILARIOUS! Oh, and all of these iconic movie slashers such as Michael Myers and Freddy Kreuger are doing the YMCA dance.(I'm completely serious.) That is not funny, its a farce. I don't know what is worse, the writing or the fact that there seems to be some sort of market for a movie like this. What makes this movie even worse is that while some terrible movies get the thrashing they deserve, (such as The Happening, Troll 2, and Battlefield Earth) they are memorable. Those movies are entertaining, although not in the way the director intended. This movie is not memorable in how bad it is. It. Just. Sucks. I have rated over 800 movies on this website, and have only given out eight 1/10 ratings. This movie earns and deserves that distinction, because it has no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

I'm not a fan of the Scary Movie franchise, or those blasted ..... movie movies, so I knew what I was letting myself in for, but in the back of my head, I thought, just one of these movies, just one, could change the way they make these movies.It's still need to be made though. There is one good visual gag involving the Ring right at the beginning, and then it goes way of the old toilet humour and sexual innuendo gags at every level possible.The cast are given very little to do, apart from scream, act really stupid, and just generally irritate the audience.Story is silly but to the point, titular character has to deliver some videos (even though there DVDs) and ends up getting lost and the townsfolk mistake him for Hugh Jackman.Cue lots of unfunny jokes referencing slasher movies of the eighties and Leslie Nielsen in a wig and make up.It's as bad as it sounds.I wish I hadn't had bothered.

Last year I developed a big addiction for mindless slapstick comedy. I made it my objective to see all the spoof movies that released over the past couple of years. The first movie to start this genre was 'Scary movie' It is a classic and possibly the best of the franchise. Originally it was the 'Naked gun' series which made this genre popular back in the day. Other average films released such as 'disaster movie, date movie, epic movie, and superhero movie followed, which didn't quite live up to expectations, but were fun to check out. Spoof genre still exists and I'm eagerly awaiting 'scary movie 5'. My expectations are not too high due to the average outcome of 'scary movie 4'. This genre still exists and I'm eagerly awaiting 'scary movie 5'. My expectations are not too high due to the average outcome of 'scary movie 4'. Jason Frietzberg and Aaron Zetzler started this but lately the quality is lacking in their movies. Stan Helsing was a low profile film that received a limited cinema release in the states and only got a DVD premiere around the world. When viewing one can understand that it doesn't possess the big box office potential. Reasons for this are obviously due to the lack of big names and absence of plot. But this doesn't deter one from enjoying it. The only reason I seen it was from noticing Diora Baird in the cast. But I admit I was pleasantly surprised from the endless adult humour and double meaning jokes. The only problem is that it doesn't make for viewing with the parents. The crass comedy may not be appealing to everyone. But it depends on one's individual comedy tastes. I think the failure of the film resulted from the non existence of a plot. Okay so a video store clerk wanting to deliver a collection of porn to a customer isn't very appealing. But what makes this watch-able is the endless comedy situations. The entire movie is shot in dark surroundings. And we follow the four characters who are to attend a Halloween party, make a detour to give a porn collection to a customer. On their way they get lost in to a quiet town and attempt to find a way out. Throughout the film there are countless horror movie references that are made in a funny and sarcastic manner. Unfortunately some comedy is forced and seem out of place at certain segments and over done. The horror movie characters were not required. They were not involved to any purpose and seemed pointless. The horror movie characters were not required. They were not involved to any purpose and seemed pointless. To add to that the ending was also pathetic. But one shouldn't expect much from the climax anyway. It reminded me of 'the police academy' movies, where something just happens at the end to give the movie the final touch.Bo Zenga who happened to be the executive producer of the 'scary movie' franchise directs this comedy. I think he did a commendable job. He also happened to write the script to the movie. I enjoyed the sex jokes. They made me laugh. It didn't come across as anything forced. Going by the reviewers on here, I can only assume that they don't find these kind of skits enjoyable. This isn't a plot based comedy movie and the entire focus is on the dialogues and jokes. It is a pity that people didn't realise this.

As a drive-by connoisseur of horror; this was a pretty darn funny send up. Beats the last couple Scary Movie spoofs that relied on too much cameo/star presence. This was formulaic, but in a good way, goofs, send-ups, mocking with some actual WTF weirdness. I'd rather watch this for the genre than another Scary Movie rehash. Bottom line, kookier, creepier, and fresher than the genre staples have lowered themselves to.Also, the actors are above par for a 'tongue-in-cheek' parody. If your expecting witty repartee, your in the wrong place. If you want a goofy send up of cliché horror tropes, you've arrived.
