4.0 out of 5 stars Carnival of Laughs, June 24, 2009

This review is from: RiffTrax: Carnival of Souls - from the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000! (DVD)

"Carnival of Souls" is one of my favorite low-budget "cult classics"...so much so, I even own the Criterion edition. So I couldn't pass up the chance to get Mike, Kevin, and Bill's take on it.

The movie itself actually looks pretty good in this transfer and can be watched without the commentary. Add the commentary, of course, for the laughs. Things start out slow and I'm not terribly impressed, but the jokes get better as they go along, particularly Kevin's running "Password" gag in the department store scene.

If you're a fan of Carnival of Souls as well as a fan of MST3K, this one's a must have.

3.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining, but too much Dead Space, November 1, 2009

This review is from: RiffTrax: Carnival of Souls - from the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000! (DVD)

"Carnival of Souls" is a very low-budget, black and white movie. The problem with Riffing this movie is that the movie itself has very little dialogue. The guys had to work harder to fill in that much dead space and often they just didn't say anything. To be fair, there are a few hilarious comments, but just not enough humorous quips to keep it going. The movie has some good spooky, original moments. There are many things that aren't explained. We never know why the dumb woman keeps going to the Carnival, unless we're to make assumptions of what it's supposed to represent. The ending is no shock to anyone unless they missed the first 15 minutes.

5.0 out of 5 stars 78 minutes of bad pipe organ music! Yay!, November 9, 2009

Okay, so it's not playing throughout the FULL 78 minutes, but there is just enough organ music in the film to make you want to head down to your local church and chainsaw their organ and drag the organist out into the street and beat them with a stick. This is one of the better RiffTrax DVDs that I've come across. Good gags and less dead space (no pun intended) than some of the other RiffTrax out there.
