Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

James Wright I want to recommend this movie, the cast have been in some great movies and someone clearly laboured over the script. But in the end it just doesn't deliver enough in any department to truly be all that likable.The story is about the making of a horror movie and the crew have some problems...That is it. This is the opposite of Smothered, a horror movie starring horror icons where there is no clear direction. Here it is all about the director, but the character work is lacking. Both are trying to explore and satirise aspects of the horror film industry, however in this case the film contains no actual horror but is a straight comedy. While the 'A Comedy' is in the title it is still surprising that a film where the main title is 'Brutal Massacre', there is no horror whatsoever. I was sitting there expecting some kind of horror shenanigans to materialise, but they never do. It's like going into Gareth Edwards' Monsters and not knowing it is a slow art piece more about aesthetics than actual monster mayhem, it makes it hard to enjoy the movie for what it is.So to be clear, this is a straight mockumentary comedy about low budget horror. It has some good ideas and some kind of funny moments and observations but overall falls flat since most of these are either obvious or have already been done. What's more you never really care about any of the characters all that much and that hurts this film even more than had it been a straight horror, at least in that case there would have been cool deaths to enjoy. There is just too little to root for or care about, and the jokes aren't funny enough to make up for that. It is a 'meh' all-round unfortunately.

truste_99 Most movies I've seen about making a movie aren't very good, but this one bucks the system. It's about a director who created one hit movie. After a series of bad movies he is basically given one more chance to create a movie that people want to watch. He and his film crew head to a small town to film his latest movie.The director is just awful. He hires a cast of kooky film makers and actors. Everything that could possible go wrong while making a movie goes wrong in this movie. The acting is good. The characters are completely clueless.It's a low budget movie, but is still well done. I barely even noticed the lack of big effects. I just came across this movie and didn't think much of it, but after watching it, I am very glad that I did.

ddaly2112 Movie is hilarious. In the same vein as Spinal Tap only for horror movie fans. Will likely become a cult classic. Apparently through word of mouth as it is not easy to find in stores. That in itself is a joke. Really a must see. Gunnar Hansen of Texas Chainsaw fame plays a total slob. Who knew Leatherface could be funny? All star cast for horror fans. stars of Evil Dead, American Werewolf, and Dawn of the Dead to name a few. Also appearing is Dante from Clerks fame. Whats even funnier is that some of the scenarios are based on real events which took place during the making of another horror movie. The director lists Malevolence on his list of credits. It would be funny to think that this was based on making it.

Vladimir Nagorny I had really great time watching this film and several times laughed aloud. Actors were charming, and direction is done very light handedly. I wasn't too crazy about the reality TV style of shooting, but one can get used to it and just enjoy two suicides and one murder of the Director (that was my spoiler). The happy ending felt a little forced, but you gotta have one in a comedy!I can describe this film like something in between "Living In Oblivion" (but not so much tongue-in-cheek) and "Lost in La Mancha" (but way funnier). In general: great comedy, you will enjoy it, especially if you are a filmmaker. If you are not… well, how should I know?
