Review of Club Dread

Club Dread (2004)
8/10
Good Slasher Spoof
5 September 2005
A pretty entertaining spoof of 80s-style slasher flicks that captures the cheesy look and feel of the genre while poking savage fun at the clichés simultaneously. Like Broken Lizard's previous film, the unexpected cult hit "Super Troopers," the overall style is crude and slapdash, almost as if the guys were making it all up as they went along. Jay Chandrasekahr's "direction" tends to lack momentum, making for a few slow spots here and there, but the crazy cast of characters and a fair amount of unpredictability more than compensate. It also doesn't stint on the blood and gore, making for a few effective shock sequences. If you're a fan of the genre, you'll definitely want to give it a look.
