Plot:
Slightly amusing mockumentary about a washed up B movie director making his new horror movie. The real treat is seeing the cast of horror movie veterans in different roles. Gunnar Hansen (AKA Leatherface) steals every scene he has as a foul mouthed owner of the house to be used as the killer's dwelling. Makes fun of the B Side of horror.
Some of the jokes fall flat, others are badly telegraphed and it weaves in and out of being a documentary and just a film to the point of distraction but it's hard for me to dislike the movie since I've worked with people like this especially the director, Harry Penderecki...only not as likeable. Now I won't mention any names but if I ever see Danial Diaz again I'll have to ask him if he's ever worked with Stevan Mena because I swear that's who Harry's modeled after.
All in all not a bad comedy but not an entirely original one either. The highlight is really the appearances and performances from David (American Werewolf) Naughton, Ellen (Evil Dead) Sandweiss, Brian (Clerks) O' Halloran, Ken (Dawn of the Dead) Foree and most notably Gunner Hansen and Gerry Bednob who steal every scene they're in.
i generally don't find swearing to be funny...but dang it, the house owner's constant cussing at inappropriate times made me giggle like a li'l girlie. aside from that, the film has some funny spots...however, as a whole, it's really not too funny. it's an alright movie...but it's nothing you should scamper out to see.
Leatherface and the Ladies of Evil Dead team up to bring a comedy about making a horror film.
"How can you listen to someone with the brain of an aardvark."
A very watchable mockumentary about a low budget film-maker and his crew attempting to make a horror film in a small town and all the hurdles and pitfalls they encounter.
Has some great moments even if the script isn't as funny as it thinks it is at times.
Worth a rental.
Too funny! Brutal Massacre not only pokes fun at itself but the horror movie industry as a whole. An aging David Naughton and Brian O'Halloran make the movie even more enjoyable, however Gunnar Hansen definitely steals the show. Some surprise "twists" make it fun to the very end.
Very funny. Follows the "Spinal Tap" formula a little too closely but still very, very funny. Enjoyed it.
If you were to get a phone call telling you that your most loved person on the face of the planet was dying from ebola, and by the way, you have aids, that would be funnier than this film. A look at a film shoot going wrong that seems like it was written by someone very new to film. Nothing is that funny, and character's reactions to potentially humourous situations dispel any attempt at comedy. Really seems like someone's student film.
