FOUR FILMS - SLASHER HOUSE, RAPTUREPALOOZA, AFTERSHOCK, THE INCREDIBLE BURT WONDERSTONE

SLASHER HOUSE

A credible well-thought out horror film that is hurt by a low budget.  Some strengths- Numerous scary sequences, cool protagonist and antagonists, and a good story plus a truly disgusting killer clown sequence.  I would like to see this redone with a bigger budget.



RAPTUREPALOOZA

Silly, wild, inventive comedy.  Don’t know why someone hadn’t thought of an end of days comedy sooner.  If I judge a comedy by how much I laughed then I would give this film high marks.  Quirky idea – Having the Anti-Christ played by THE OFFICE’s Craig Robinson.



AFTERSHOCK

So terrible, so awful a film that it ends up being entertaining for that reason.  Eli Roth is annoying as hell but the characters (Including Roth) die in gruesome ways so there’s that.  Even in a golden turkey like this, tsunamis are cool.



THE INCREDIBLE BURT WONDERSTONE

Steve Carrell and Jim Carrey are only funny in small doses and consequently this film is only funny for the first 20 minutes with its Siegfried and Roy/David Blaine jokes.  After that it devolves into the usual “hero becomes a better person while triumphing over adversity” BS
