Nice opening credits - shame about the rest

Rating: 4/10 (26 September 2001)

Don't worry if you need to dash out the cinema to see a better movie after the opening credits: the best sequence is in the first few minutes - a hilarious send-up of "The Exorcist" where all the elements of the head-twisting sick-spewing child and the pervy priest are brilliantly caricatured and manage to be shocking and funny at the same time. From there on we get a series of sketches based on various horror films, but none of them up to the same standard - in most cases much poorer in entertainment value than the original. The plot is so flimsy I had forgotten it by the time I left the cinema - sorry!
