Dead Funny!, 28 April 2008
8/10
Author: Sunniva Reilly from United Kingdom

Since I read some the other reviews on here, I've wondered if I saw a different film than the others. (But no, cast and story's the same). I understand that this film is not to everyone's liking, it's an offbeat comedy. Moreover, it looks like some people were expecting horror, where there is only comedy. Yes, there's some blood and gore, but in a funny way, not scary, and not intending to be. If you sit down to watch this intending to be scared, you will be disappointed, if you're looking for a laugh, this might be just the thing. This film pulls out every horror film cliché there is and makes fun of them. And it's a lot more subtle about it than "Scary Movie". It's not a comedy classic that will stand the test of time, but it is great fun, 8/10
