Not Good.

Terrible movie. If you value your life and your time listen to this review. The only reason this movie has a high score is because it's got a very devoted fanbase of ten year olds too hopped up on sugar to know what horror and comedy actually are.The first scene of the movie is supposed to be bad on purpose, and I was initially intrigued at this because I thought that there was no way that the acting and jokes could get worse. I was so totally wrong. Not only did the jokes fall flat, but they looked like they even made the actors uncomfortable. The acting even got worse! It's just impossible to me that a movie like this can have a rating so high.

What horror?

Numerous times cast members seen moving in the background apart from the scene. For a horror film, it was not scary in the least and despite having gratuitous blood from zombies, it was a joke.The ventriloquist material was pretty immature and lousy.The videography was on the level of a high school play at best and really did not add much to the story. The trailer park scenes were appropriate given that "trailer park trash" would be my description for the production crew, videographers, and most of the actors in general. At nearly two hours, it was pretty much more than I could take during a single sitting.

Made for niche crowd

Many of the lower rated reviews are complaining it is lacking in horrific elements. These may be forgiven, as like yours truly, they were dumb enough to watch this, while not being so steeped in culture and art as its core audience.It rarely hits a comedic beat, though it may offer more for fans of shock-jock humor (abuse, rape, poverty) might have better signal to noise ratio in this regard.The acting is fair, though it often comes across as stilted due to chewing through punchlines which seem like poor renditions of terrible two sentence horror stories. Additionally crass language is often emphasized giving a juvenile tone, which is kind of humorous, like the skit from I Think You Should Leave Now where it is adult's night at the haunted exhibit, so you can cuss.The camera work is fine, though at times somewhat flat (shot, reverse shot), it is only distracting for Jimmy Headshot's tales, which I think are intended to be wink, wink in regards to the film's quality overall.The sound is excellent, and the soundtrack is actually used appropriately and effectively.There is a fun kill scene, there were many others which felt like chaff.The story is cognizable, it, for better or worse, lacks the enigmatic quality of what I regard as a true good bad film, it isn't funny for its incompetence. Nor does the director seem egotistical or out of touch, they are cast but not in a central or flattering role.There are scenes which might qualify as gross-out humor but the effects are not there for it, which may be a blessing.If none of this turns you off, you can take the given rating as gospel, personally and I imagine for many it will be closer to 1-3/10. There seems to be passion and awareness but could use much funnier and tighter dialogue, and some of it would look better on the editing room floor.
