Rating: 8/10 (9 April 2004)

This film is meant to be a comedy? Well, the Dawn of the Dead remake had more funny moments! I probably would have enjoyed this film more had the auditorium not been filled with loud-mouthed chuckleheads determined to shriek with laughter at every one-liner, expletive, or bit of gore that crossed the screen, as though what they were seeing was fresh and witty and in no way done before! The plot was formulaic and the jokes dull. The only things worth another look were the acting and the make-up, which were both passable at best. This is very much aimed at the teen market and the townie crowd who are easily entertained. If you want something more challenging and funny to watch, go and stare at a clown with a knife in it's back. Definately not worth £5.50 of my hard earned dollars!
