Review of Club Dread (2004) by Rick E — 25 Apr 2010
Club Dread is a mediocre spoof of slasher movies and a very disappointing effort from the folks who brought a new level of zaniness to police work in Super Troopers. This film is chock full of characters so dumb and utterly annoying you can hardly wait to see them get knocked off.
The lone exception is a buff and beautiful Brittany Daniel, the sexy aerobic instructor whose belly-baring, crack hugging wardrobe was the only thing that kept this film interesting. Plus, Bill Paxton was a pretty hilarious second-rate Jimmy Buffet wanna-be.
It has a few funny moments - the life-size game of Pac-Man was kinda inspired and the punchline to a scary story told around the campfire had me laughing out loud. But, most of the humor falls flat with tired old gags intermingling with new stuff that just isn't all that funny.
Might be worth a rent for anyone who wonders what Jordan Ladd's naked breasts look like - all others will probably want to vote themselves off the island.
