It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

This horror film might just have been the funniest film at the festival and it worked because the premise is so thoroughly absurd! When the film begins, a young lady is working her first night as the manager of a grocery store. However, this would be no ordinary night and soon co- workers start dropping like flies as an angry shopping cart begins killing them off, one by one!! Can they possibly stop this angry cart and save themselves? And why would a cart do such things in the first place?! As I said, the film is totally absurd but it works so well because James Feeney managed to make a shopping cart look evil...with snapping jaws and a thirst for blood! He also did some imaginative and tricky camera shots which he described during a question and answer session following the film. The bottom line is that the audience howled with laughter and I've rarely seen a crowd this excited and this happy when the final credits rolled!

I love stupid comedy and I love horror, but it's very difficult to mix the two effectively and create a good byproduct. First of all, if you're making a horror spoof the viewer shouldn't be confused as to whether the film is comedy or completely serious. It took until the first cheesy line from Cass's boyfriend (when she found him outside) for me to realize it was actually supposed to be funny.Killer Kart has way too much screaming, not enough comedy, and looks as if the director took the subject matter too seriously, and secretly wanted to make it 100% horror. The dialogue was atrocious, and the clichés ever- present. The casting was very stereotypical of horror movies as well: tiny helpless screaming girls, a douchey guy that only thinks about sex, and a huge burly man that everyone thinks is a dick.The camera angles and production quality were rather high though, which makes the film look good, whether or not it actually is. But the boring dialogue, character, and premise of the entire situation is dull and leaves creativity in the dark.

Shopping malls have been a preferred location in horror films that don't take themselves too seriously for a while. Another example would be "Zombieland" and this is also the case for "Killer Kart" from 3 years ago. The writer and director is James Feeney. He has worked on a handful other (horror) films, but these 15 minutes may be his most famous effort to this date. A girl who works at said department store runs into a bloodlusty shopping kart. With the help of a janitor, she manages to kill it, but the ending shows us that things are far from over. I was actually wondering what would be the case with the other karts. I enjoyed this short film and I wonder if they will possibly turn this into a full feature movie and how it's gonna work out. In any case, I recommend these 15 minutes, especially to horror movie lovers, which I myself am not, but still it was a good watch.

Though it looks like horror, noting is actually horrible. The lines are extremely ridiculous, the action is not natural at all, and the story is a complete joke. This film looks nice but it really is just a student film. Besides this, the cart that eats people is a absurd idea. Although it is funny, it is no horrifying because it is not real. Nobody can get scared because it has an unbelievable story. No one is gonna believe this. The lines from the shopkeeper is ridiculously funny and weird. No people will really say that in such conditions. It really s***. Also, I think the ending the fake customers being eaten by a cart. I mean people make those carts, why don't we destroy them? Besides, if the theme is they are angry because nobody is putting them back in their original position, it doesn't make sense. The shopkeeper usually get them back in place. so this entire film is a complete joke.
