Broken Lizard's Club Dread

We don't need better movies,
we need lower expectations. -- DH

I have seen many cheesy, horribly bad slasher flicks. Some were meant to be funny (Student Bodies, Return to Horror High), some were supposed to be suspenseful (Friday the 13th part 1), and many that were a waste of film (The Edge of the Axe springs to mind).

Personally, since I went into the theatre expecting very little from Broken Lizard's Club Dread I was pleasantly surprised. It reminded me a bit of the old who-dunits, everyone is a suspect ... until they die.

I wouldn't recommend it to anyone hoping for pathos, but it was an amusing diversion. I also wouldn't have recommended it to the family of four six rows in front of us with the newborn and the eight-year-old. Hello! I've seen exactly one commercial for the movie and I could guess there were going to be exposed breasts and sex jokes. Not a family movie.

At least there weren't any fart jokes!

I did almost get trampled by a hoard of eager The Passion viewers. They were everywhere. I will, however, refrain from expressing my opinion (not of the movie, but on why I may or may not want to see the movie) as I have already been criticized for having an opinion.
