Dotsthavesp I wanted to but couldn't!
Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
Crwthod A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.
Cleveronix A different way of telling a story
christopher-underwood This is really good fun. Clearly the two writers, Carmine Capobianco and Gorman Bechard, who also star and direct respectively knew they were on to a good idea and ran with it, barely making a false move. Sexy and gory by turns from the very beginning, it is also very knowing and mainly very amusing. Once or twice, particularly towards the end, I felt the humour become a little silly and the running joke barely amusing anyway. But let us not quibble, this is packed with sexy action and if the lovely leading lady, Debi Thibeault is a little shy about getting naked, nobody else seems to be. Uncompromising and funny, this film was a real surprise to me. I expected to have to ignore ropey acting and evidence of the low budget, but no, all is very competent and even the theme song is pretty decent. The best line has been nicked from Groucho Marx, but so what, let's call it an homage. There are indeed other movie references to enjoy as well as the flesh, the splatter and the joking about.
C G This movie appears to be a weekend project that the team did in their spare time. It was recommended to me by some friends in college and I did enjoy it.The title of the movie explains the plot, and there's really not much more depth to it. It is like a very unsophisticated and non-musical Sweeny Todd. Definitely in the genre of Scary Movie, but not a spoof on other movies, it basically spoofs itself.Technically the movie really is pretty lame. Nothing to write to mama about with regards to cinematography, sound, editing. Though the performances were pretty good, over the top and over acted, but fits the style of the movie well.I would recommend this if you are with a bunch of friends, looking for something to ridicule. Having a few brews would also help.
jessebrenda Pay no attention to the comments behind the curtain! The majority of people leaving positive comments about this film must be receiving royalties. This is a horrible film in every way. Imagine high school kids with no money and no sense of humor making a slasher/comedy video. They would receive a D for this. College kids would receive an F or asked to leave the school. Since this monstrosity was made by "Professionals" I believe there should be jail time or at least cinema probation. I enjoy watching bad movies Like "Plan 9 From Outer Space" but, this thing doesn't even fall into that category. The script, acting, sound, and directing are so bad that it is virtually unwatchable. If you enjoy watching bad films that are amusing stick with Ed Wood, blaxploitation, or 1970's horror films. After viewing this you get the feeling you've wasted an hour and a half of your life.
Troma_Warrior Psychos in Love, starring Carmine Capobianco as Joe and Debi Thibeault as Kate, is pure, unadulterated genius. I understand that much of the film was ad-libbed, meaning that not only is writer/director Gorman Bechard a comic genius, a lot of that hilarity is owed to Carmine and Debi. I've heard people compare this film to a Troma film. While I love Troma dearly, Psychos in Love far surpasses anything they have ever produced. It's dripping with satire and tongue-in-cheek fun, not to mention blood, blood and more blood. It spoofs horror films, slasher films, movies in general; it spoofs itself and then spoofs spoofing itself. Say that ten times fast on your way to pick up a copy of this splatteriffic comedy.
