Killer Pad (Robert Englund, 2008)

I rip on bad horror movies all the time, but I'll tell you what--I'm a sucker for a bad horror movie that's played for its badness, and I have been ever since discovering such classic horror parodies as Night of the Creeps and Return of the Living Dead back in the eighties. The latest one to cross my path is Killer Pad, the second feature directed by Robert Englund (the first, way way back when, was the cult hit 976-EVIL...and I'll bet three-quarters of those reading this are too young to get what that was a reference to). Yeah, Robert Englund. Freddy Krueger. You know the guy. So the director hasn't made a movie (behind the camera, anyway) in twenty years. What about the scriptwriter? Dan Stoller, a former production assistant turning his hand to writing a script for the first time. Oh, yeah, this is gonna be good.

Surprisingly, it is.

Three friends from suburban Chicago, Doug (Mean Girls' Daniel Franzese), Craig (Not Another Teen Movie's Eric Jungmann), and Brody (relative newcomer Shane McRae, who will be in the upcoming adaptation of monster literary hit The Help), flee their parents' houses for various reasons (which we can't get into here) and head for Los Angeles. After they're turned down for the rathole where they already paid their deposit because they have a pet, they come across Winnie (MADtv's Bobby Lee), a shady real estate agent who finds them a great deal on a house. And what a house it is, one of those massive modern-art all-glass mansions up off Mulholland. On Perdition Lane. At 666. So, you think there's a portal to hell in the basement? Well, maybe, but the boys stop caring when they meet their next-door neighbor Lucy (Legend of the Seeker's Emily Foxler) and her two best friends, Delilah (The Taqwacores' Noreen DeWulf, one of Maxim's Hot 100 in 2007) and Jezebel (Unrest's Corri English). Brody figures he's in LA, it's time to throw a house party, so aside from inviting the entire city, they call their old pal Backwater (The Sarah Silverman Program's Jeff Bryan Davis), the biggest partier they know. Except Backwater is now a priest-in-training and plans to use the party to convert the faithless...

Yes, you've probably heard a lot of these jokes before, though they've been updated. And yes, the whole thing is predictable and silly. But it's also very funny; I laughed out loud as many times while watching this as I did during The Hangover, at least. The actors are in general pretty good at what they do (and there are some hilarious cameos), Englund's directorial technique has improved, not that it was all that bad, and Stoller has a good sense of comic timing backed up very well by the actors performing the material. While it's not in the same league as Return of the Living Dead, it's miles better than something like Saturday the 14th or any horror spoof directed by and/or starring a Wayans brother. If you like bad horror flicks, this is a must. *** ½

I love this movie, and with the right expectations and temperament, you might too. Its a comedic horror, with acting purposely over the top, but, IMHO, not so much that its annoying. It strikes, to me, the right balance on all fronts without being annoying, but still being highly entertaining. FYI - I tend to absolutely hate slapstick humor, and I think this achieves the goals of a good comedy, and should appeal to men in their 20-30s. There's a good bit of oddly adult-ish/domestic humor to enjoy.

Yes, this movie is terrible. It's a hilarious "horror" movie pocked full of horny teenage boys and gruesome deaths. Obviously this isn't a movie for content, but good for some laughs. Three guys move into a pad way that should be way out of their price budget. That is, except for that portal to hell in the basement... You can guess it's a silly movie, and is only compounded when the guys decide to throw a killer party. And that's where all the fun really begins...
