Club Dread

Club Dread [DVD Info] On Pleasure Island in Costa Rica, a group of people arrive from a cruise to the island resort to vacation. Three people from the staff wander off on their own to have a threesome but they're all killed by a mysterious tiki guy. One by one the staff is picked off and sliced into bits. There's a warning...if you do your job...then you won't be killed. The killer is killing people according to the island's owner, Coconut Pete's (Bill Paxton), song lyrics from when he was a star in the 70's. With the song's vague and nonsensical lyrics will they figure out who the killer is before it's too late? Or will the entire staff disappear without being noticed by the guests? "Ok... Juan Castillo... went to jail... for having sex... with a goat. Ok? It that what you wanted to hear? We lived on a farm! And I got lonely!" ~Juan. The first thing they should have done with this flick it shave 44 minutes off of it. Yes, that would make it only an hour long but once it hit that 60 minute mark it was all down hill. The jokes got worse and they spent all this time building up the killer that it was all one big disappointment. The killer came back to life, like, 100 times and it just wasn't funny at all. The best scene in the whole movie was when the guy is walking around in the pear suit. Ahaha. That was awesome. But the rest of the movie wasn't that great. Even with 10 bodies, 4 boobies, and Pacman fruit doing it doggie style with their suits on. Broken Lizard did a better job with Super Troopers, at least that one was funny. This one? Not so much. It had its moments but it got old quick and got boring after a while. Spare yourself this mediocre comedy. When they try too hard...it really shows. Because of this, we rate this quickie:
