SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

GL84 Arriving in Los Angeles, a group of losers hold a special housewarming bash to celebrate their independence, but a series of misfortunes before and during the event eventually makes them realize that the Devil is using the location to harvest sinful souls to rot in Hell and they must try to stop it while keeping everyone safe.This one was quite a lame and incredibly unfunny horror/comedy. Among the numerous highly detrimental flaws here, the majority of time here is that the supposedly cheesy comedy is really lame and so not funny, not only in the execution but the concept as well. There's little about the concept of being unable to understand the Mexican that is provided with subtitles while they believe his concerns are for food, the absolutely single-minded mentality of keeping the house to themselves during the party as obviously creepy goings-on are happening that should render a higher degree of urgency in their actions or even taking those actions with much more intelligence than what's going through their reasoning here which is filled to the brim with such lame concepts that are supposedly funny. The characters here are so brain-numbingly stupid in their decision-making and backwards in their logic that there's so little to be feared from the scenario as it's furthered by their pure idiocy that they feature some nearly impossible amount of work throughout here just to make the story seem competent that these guys would be that completely stupid to let these events keep happening and not do something useful only to continually be stuck in the same situation minutes later due to their inherent stupidity. While there's little to blame here about this not being all too funny, the general stupidity of the action required to complete the storyline here is what hurts this one so badly and severely that together it's enough to knock this down even before getting several of the big flaws. Despite the length, there's several needless scenes here with the Fire Marshall and the lonely guy at the party just being totally unnecessary to make this seem longer than it really is, and there's the utterly detrimental plot thread about the story being treated as a joke here in the course of the movie which lower this even further. There's still a few positives here in this one, from the horror-worthy set-up that's pretty nicely done, there's some nice atmosphere at the part of the demons and some of the action at the end here isn't bad as the concept to overcome their Satanic powers isn't bad. Still, this one is just plain stupid and really can't overcome these problems.Rated R: Graphic Language, Violence, Brief Nudity, heavy drug use, intense scatological humor and a clothed sex scene.

shoesncandles Let me start out by saying that nothing will ever, ever, and I do mean EVER top 'Lesbian Vampire Killers' for hysterical horror satire. But 'Killer Pad' just beat out 'Shaun of the Dead' for second place.The humor in American horror satire is usually limited to slapstick, sight gags and pop-culture banter. Consequently it quickly becomes dated, and the humor loses its edge, leaving its audience to wander off in search of the next fix. 'Killer Pad' actually bothers with a script. The situational comedy is deftly arranged, so that the running jokes STAY funny, popping up in unexpected ways, and often the excuse to bring the gag up again is a gag in itself. The jokes don't need to be propped up by a backstory only one generation will really get; they're funny on their own. And likely to remain so! The actors deserve equal credit for the comic success of the film. It's difficult to keep a character consistently, genuinely, believably oblivious for more than an hour, and to make the audience genuinely laugh at their idiocy instead of just rolling their eyes and getting bored. They achieve it, though. It's my favorite thing about this movie.Those who come to 'Killer Pad' looking for shallow, cheap humor and obvious jokes will be disappointed, but for anyone seeking a fresh, fun spin on the "evil house" theme: you've found it. So sit back and enjoy!

FieCrier He'd directed 976-EVIL which was a pretty good movie, but this one was terrible!Irritatingly stupid characters, terrible special effects, pretty women but no nudity, and the film takes forever to get to the big party where everything is supposed to happen.What a travesty! We finally had to give up and watch the movie on 16x forward scan, and we could tell nothing of interest was going on at all.I'm glad it wasn't me who wasted my money on the rental!Englund's next set to direct The Vij, which was a really good Russian horror movie. I hope he doesn't slaughter it!

worthington429 I watched this film after seeing it was produced by the team that did "Dude where's my car". I know it's not the best reason to watch a film, but what the heck? I had an afternoon to kill.There are some films that transcend the depths of awfulness and are then actually reborn again as an entertaining must see movie (See Vanilla Ice's classic Cool as Ice). However this film is just truly terrible. The characters are your typical stereotypes and the film just goes from one bad joke to another for 90 minutes. I don't know why but I watched the film to the end, I guess I'm a sucker for punishment. Once it did finish I was just left wishing that I could get the 90 minutes of my life back that I had just wasted. I was left feeling dirty and violated so I then watched Leon to try and cleanse myself once more.
