Spectacularly gory but so deeply dippy I found it impossible not to love. I found the music equally hilarious (presumably unintentionally, unless it was some sort of incredibly obscure metatextual joke) as the great majority of it was exactly the same as the "dramatic/exciting/spooky" music they used to use in 80s Aussie soap Sons and Daughters. I found this at first incredibly distracting and then eventually hugely amusing in its own right.
This was a really silly movie but I had a great time with it. I love the bit where the killer pauses in pursuit of his final victim to pick up a couple of items on the floor in the supermarket in order to put them back on the shelf!  |
I saw this as part of a double bill with Zombie Flesh Eaters at the GFT which, I think, was organised by Calum Waddell. It was brilliant to watch it with so many like minded individuals, laughing at the same moments (some of which you identified).
It's been a while since I watched it at home but, even though I really enjoyed it, it isn't the same as with a large audience in a fairly big venue.
