| Not really one movie, but four shorts. And I mean short, the entire thing is about one hour. One hour including having to put up with Chris and Eddie, if fate ever shines on me to host a tape or show like this and I act the same - kill me. Smother me with a pillow, smash out the window, and escape to Canada. The films are pretty good for just being shorts and, since they are different, I never grew bored. Jenny visits the museum and meets Dr. Dobermind, after that she struggles through a host of horrific daydreams. Her face rots off at one point! Pretty straightforward and over before I could even make fun of it. Next up is a parody of "Alien" and it's not really original, more like "no budget." Enough on that one, it's like talking about your last bowel movement in depth. "Nightfright" is the third short film and my favorite. It deals with a kid who believes in monsters and one is living in his room! Under the bed, in the closet, you know all the hiding places. It eats his brother and father, about to eat him when the dream ends. Of course it was a dream, did your brother ever stick his head under the bed and get it bitten off? (Video below!) The last piece has some serious bad effects but they're funny, especially the sounds. A nice surprise in a very cheap package. |
