Vicious Fun, that's exactly what this movie was, so the title couldn't be more perfect. The cast was very well chosen for playing the different characters. My favorite characters in Vicious Fun were played brilliantly by Evan Marsh and Ari Millen. Evan Marsh was the funniest one in my opinion. The story is a bit weird, but the good kind of weird. Nice slashing scenes as well, so if you're looking for a bit of fun and slashing you can't go wrong with this movie.

Started off great...the guy that plays Josh is hilarious. But as soon as they get into the actual 'story', it loses all momentum. It was like a different writer did the first 10 minutes. I hated everything after the 10 minute mark...in fact, I turned it off after about 45 minutes because it just became a steaming pile of end trails. And they killed off the best actor in the entire movie early on. One good thing though, was the soundtrack. Brilliant 80s theme to it. Would not recommend.

Best horror comedy of the year. One of the best horror I've seen in a long time.

I LOOOOOOOVED IT! Loved it! Loved it! Catchy catch phrases, bada*s characters, nice kills, excellent music score, funny, smart, very good acting (mr. Julian Richings creepy as always), fun, fun, fun!!! An excellent horror comedy! I would love to see Joel vomit on Bob tho before he finally died, but that didn't spoil it for me. Watch until the mid credits to see the mid-credit scene. I will definitely check out Cody Calahan's other movies (I have only watched The Oak Room which I liked the same).

Who would have thought the Canadians could come up with sure a great movie! I loved Joel he was funny, nerdy, and unforgettable. I have seen a movie similar to this one, actually exactly the same but this one takes the cake. Killers Anonymous was the movie btw. Although they are both enjoyable, this one I connected more with Joel and could put myself into his shoes. I recommend if you like gory movies about psycho killers who are running around killing ppl. Tip, if you do not like gore you will not like this movie. This movie was very entertaining and definitely worth the watch.

I'll never understand why writers choose a fun set up, just to let it all go to waste a third of the way through. Here, in an impossibly bizarre twist (passing out drunk in a bar), Joel finds himself at a deranged killers' networking circle sit down (like AA but also not cause they wanna share tips and find good murder spots). What could have been a ridiculously fun comedy horror of maniacs supporting each others' nasty tendencies, or using journalist Joel as a documentary/mockumentary maker a la "What We Do in the Shadows" stumbles immediately into territory so well trodden you can practically see the wear and tear in the text as they trip from one predictable situation to the next. It's all here - defensive stab wounds to the arms, eye gouging, needle stabbing, clownface laughing psychos... and it's all so yawn-inducing. Of course the Japanese cannibal has an Oni mask and enjoys haute cuisine. And of course he's skilled with knives, until it matters. And of course he's played by a Korean. They couldn't tweak the character when they cast Sean Baek? It wouldn't have mattered, he's only in the film for four minutes anyway. Why is Joel a journalist of horror? It doesn't play any role in his fate to outsmart 6 serial killers. It just eats up a scene in the opening for no reason. Why are they meeting in a room together? As soon as Joel is found out they just go into stabby stabby mode with a plan as hamfisted as that time someone hired ScarJo to play a Japanese woman in "Ghost in a Shell." They have no stake in killing Joel, so deliberations about his fate are pointless. In the end, it can't even qualify its existence with a fun finale. It literally goes from bar to police station to hospital ward and pays no attention to set detail or character on its way. It's upsetting because Shudder has had strong output so far, so my expectations for this were quite high but this is a big swing and miss. Avoid.
