Review of Kill Them and Eat Them (2003) by Grëg W — 09 Jun 2009

This is one of the most ridiculous horror movies i've ever seen. it was shot on home video and I got it in a pack of 50 movies that were subsequently all shot on home video as well. to tell you the truth, not all of those movies are bad.

this is one of the good ones. it actually has some great comedy in it, especially with velner and aaron. the acting is a lot better than I expected too. another plus is the gore factor. for a no budget movie, this pulled off some good death sequences complete with steel poles through the head and one of the monsters impaling one of the guys through the stomach.

also, the soundtrack is awesome with some nice metal songs blasting throughout the fight scenes. on the downside, there are really some really silly/stupid parts like when the people who died immediately turn into the monsters, there are cartoon monsters and cartoon blood thrown across the screen, which I guess could be artistic in some ways.

another bad thing is the ludicrous monster costumes. their very original, but very dumb, with most of them having eyes that resemble a visor, a skull nose, and a couple spiked teeth. there are exceptions though, such as the main character's costume being bright blue, which makes no sense.

also stupid was that the characters, after turning into the monsters still had their same original voices when they were human, with additional roaring and growling. all in all though, this is extremely fun to watch, and it doesn't take itself too seriously, such as a scene where one of the characters comments on how badly a gun's structure is.

("its held together with duct tape." "Well i'm sure its good duct tape.") recommended for bad movie fans.
