Review of The Funhouse Massacre (2015) by Carl G — 04 Dec 2016

This film fails as horror and comedy. It doesn't build any tension throughout it's bloated runtime and fails to amuse you with the ridiculous premise. The acting is dire as the unlikable characters make increasingly stupid decisions that somehow work out for them.

I found myself rooting for all of the "good guys" to be murdered in horribly violent ways and was often disappointed by the conventional deaths. The film does use some brave camera work, including continuous takes that breach the 1 minute mark in a few scenes.

The gory effects are also interesting, although they tend towards bare shock factor rather than realism. The only reason that you'd want to watch this would be out of a morbid curiosity to see if it is "so bad it's good".

Maybe if you were drunk enough it would hit that category but for me it was just so bad that it's bad.
