| 01.04.23 | Internet | "Last year 26 horror films were released... None of them lost money" "Julie, you're not responding to my male-ness" "The swine flu really affected my mind!" This is the back half of a slasher spoof double feature. I actually saw this about 9 years ago and have a note for it on here, but mostly I remember catching it on cable late one night and being taken by the spoof nature of it. I still think the first act is legit quite funny, but the jokes per second count goes down a bit as the movie trudges forward and it runs out of steam by the end. But still, it's notable that this came so early as the slasher genre was basically at its height and proved to hit many of the tropes right on the head. This movie also has an Alan Smithee credit, which imdb tells me belonged to Michael Ritchie who produced and directed but took his name off due to a writers' strike or something. That makes sense because the credited director was mainly a tv comedy writer who also worked on Woody Allen's early movies and this is his sole directing credit. |
| 07.06.13 | Netflix | Slasher movie spoof from the early 80s. This is a movie that I remember seeing on Cinemax late one night in like the summer of 92 and could never remember the title or anything, just that it involved a heavy breather in the girls locker room and that the movie interrupted with a guy saying that R rated movies made more money so he'd like to take this opportunity to say FUCK YOU. Well, Now I've seen it again and it's kind of surprisingly funny! I mean that in the stupidest possible way. Maybe it was just my mood but a lot of the clearly ADR dialog with these weird quick jokes really caught my fancy. Horse head bookends. So yeah I liked this one. Kind of like an Airplane for slasher movies. "I'd like to kill the kid with the GUM!" |
