You won't be disappointed!

Waste of time

Good concept, poorly executed.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

The first thing you need to know about Club Dread is that it is not to be taken seriously. It's basically a comedy, but with horror thrown in. It doesn't so much as lampoon the genre, as adhere to it. Storywise, it's actually your average slasher film. An unknown killer stalks an island full of annoyingly-fit teenagers and knifes them to death. Nothing new there. Nothing new in the whole film really, but that doesn't mean it's not worth watching.It's basically fun. It never tries to be serious and shouldn't be taken as such. If you like slasher films in general, you should like this. The only downside I found (or rather something I felt was a missed opportunity) were the death scenes. The whole film is surprisingly UNgory for a supposed (half) horror film. As the film-makers are also playing to a comedy audience, you'd think they'd be more creative with the (many) death scenes. There's certainly scope for it. However, every death is a simple stabbing or slice - hardly imaginative.But, it's more comedy than horror, so perhaps I'm expecting too much. Basically, as many other reviewers have said, it's basically Froday 13th meets Porkies and I can't really add anything to that.

Slasher parody with all the ingredients fans of the genre know and love..babes, boobs, blood, and blonds. Bill Paxton is a hilarious Jimmy Buffet wannabe, Coconut Pete, who has an island paradise which caters to partying college kids who adore him and his vulgar music(which was mostly popular in the 70s!). This island is like Cancun where the hot girls and handsome guys come to celebrate liberty away from the pressures of life(or to celebrate the fact that they can party on daddy's allowance)where they can drink, smoke grass, and have sex. But for Coconut Pete's staff on the island, the fun comes to a crashing halt when a serial killer, wielding a machete, begins to hunt them down one at a time, the end result not in their favor. The murders follow an "acid trip" song from a 70s Coconut Pete record and the staff attempting to stay alive begin to question each other. Kevin Heffernan is the new guy on the island, Lars, hired as a masseuse, with an uncanny ability to touch certain spots on the body providing orgasmic pleasure. His weight is often poked fun at and since he is new, the others figure he's the psychopath slicing and dicing. Brittany Daniel(more than reason enough to recommend this movie to anyone who can appreciate the athletic female form), often scantily clad for our benefit, is a fitness guru, Jenny, and Lars' love interest. Steve Lemme is Juan, a Spanish Lothario who has a way with the ladies. Jordan Ladd is very into Juan and seems to be one of those clinging obsessive stalker types..for our viewing pleasure, Ladd shows her tits, for quite a long time which is paradise enough for yours truly. The director of the film, Jay Chandrasekhar, is Putman, who looks like a Jamaiican yet carries a British accent..in my opinion, he has some of the best scenes in the movie. Lindsay Price, yet another babe, is in it far too short for my liking, another member of the staff(her name is Yu which is toyed with in the dialogue).I really can not complain here because the Broken Lizard team gave me exactly what I desire when watching a slasher film. They are able to lampoon the genre while, at the same time, include what we, the target audience, demand when we watch a slasher movie. The movie isn't subtle in it's comedy, and the cast play to the material. There's plenty of eye candy on display, and the filmmakers deliver enough ultra-violence to keep fans happy, I believe. CLUB DREAD also features humor on how a killer is able to sustain a lot of punishment and still come after our protagonists. The identity of the killer and his reasons for committing the crimes are also a loving jab at the often silly twists we often see in slasher movies. Also included is the campfire horror story involving "Machette Phil", not to mention, some funny sequences poking fun at both hiding places and attempted getaways(and the always easy target, splitting up when it's better to stay together).

This movie seems very cheap and easy..with lots of young beautiful girls with little clothes on them. But all in all, if you watch the whole thing and actually pay attention it's very well made and very funny. It took a while before it sunk it that it had intelligence..it's well hidden behind the typical high school type of cheapness, but it's intelligent and funny. Not everything works, but it takes chances and comes out very well all in all. If someone bashes this movie it's simply because they don't get the subtle humor within the in-your-face-humor..it's a laid back movie which doesn't take itself seriously and I think it shines through with quality..I have never seen any movies by these writers before, but I will look for more from them. Well done! This is not something I have seen in many years...and especially not from the U.S.A.

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.
